Recognized by Southwest Art magazine as one
of the top 30 artists featured in their 30 years of publication, Santa
Fe sculptor Star Liana York is as well known for her detailed and
sensitive renderings of Native Peoples as her gift for capturing the
spirit of the horse in three-dimensions. With Medicine Horse, she has
combined her love and knowledge of people with special relationships
to animals by creating a Plains Indian ceremonial horse dressed with a
collection of personal objects believed to give the horse's owner
power: shields, a lance, a bow, a pipe and assorted amulets and
talismans.
