Kay WalkingStick: Mesas/Mountains/Sky presents new paintings on panel and paper spanning landscapes across Colorado, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Idaho, and Rhode Island. Working from memory after visiting sites in person, WalkingStick moves between watercolor and oil, precision and expressiveness. Central to the work is her overlay of Indigenous patterning — researched in Smithsonian archives — onto painted surfaces as a gesture of reclamation and protection. Complementing the American landscape tradition, the works reclaim land not as territory but as a site of cultural memory and ancestral continuity.
