“I often hear my grandmother’s words echoing through my memories as I work. In a very real way, her stories live in my figures. It is my purpose to make art that goes beyond being aesthetically pleasing. It is of paramount importance that my work act as a teaching tool, awakening the viewers’ curiosity by providing a connection to the past… It is my sincere hope that, through my work, I may play a part in helping to restore, revitalize, and ensure the continuum
of our Lakota, Plains culture.”—Rhonda Holy Bear
