Greetings my friends, I hope and pray that you are all well. I am delighted to announce that Rainmaker Gallery will re-open after lockdown with an exhibition that we are calling ‘Emergence 2020’.‘Emergence 2020’ marks the re-emergence of our communities from the confines inflicted on the world by the Covid-19 virus. The works selected for this exhibition reference healing, ceremony, meditation, nature and resilience.This group show introduces organic works on paper by Monty Little (Navajo) and includes ledger drawings by Chris Pappan (Osage, Kanza & Sioux), minimalistic oil pastel drawings by Potawatomi artist Jason Wesaw, potent photographic portraits by Chemehuevi artist Cara Romero, contemplative acrylic paintings by Marla Allison  from Laguna Pueblo, dynamic works by Osage painter Yatika Starr Fields, meditative serigraphs by Northern Cheyenne artist Jordan Ann Craig and a touching portrait of tribal elder ‘Edna’ by Luanne Redeye (Seneca).

Feather Earrings by Pat Pruitt

This series of glorious feather earrings was created by Pat Pruitt exclusively for Rainmaker Gallery during the Covid-19 pandemic. They were meant to be a special lockdown promotion but unfortunately, the shipment which was despatched at the beginning of May is still in transit. This series consists of thirty unique pairs of feathers. Fifteen pairs were retained for US customers and they sold out within two hours of posting on social media! When the remaining pairs eventually arrive in the UK, all of you who are on this mailing list will be notified first. There have already been a lot of enquiries and so I am expecting them to fly out!These magnificent feathers are crafted from titanium and individually anodised to create the unique colour combinations of each pair. The markings reference eagle feathers and the joyful colours are reminiscent of parrot plumage. Both eagle and parrot play pivotal roles in the emergence stories of the Southwest tribes.Rainmaker Gallery is honoured to participate in this beautiful collaboration which anticipates the emergence of our respective communities from lockdown and celebrates the extraordinary ways in which we support one another through times of transition and adversity.On that note, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to those of you who made purchases from the website over the past three months. Your support is greatly appreciated.
