Southwest Petroglyph Arrow
This acrylic painting draws inspiration from the petroglyph traditions of the Navajo and the greater Southwest. A vertical arrow anchors the piece, marked with vibrant feather lines and turquoise accents, symbolizing direction, balance, and connection between earth and sky. The arrow rests against layered desert tones that echo the region’s mesas and shifting light.
On either side, stylized figures reminiscent of Navajo rock imagery add movement and meaning: a radiant human form on the left and flowing energy lines on the right. Warm rust colors contrast with deep blacks and soft neutrals, creating a modern interpretation of ancient visual language.
A contemporary tribute to Navajo symbolism and the enduring stories carved into the landscape.
