The Survivors
Judy Larson’s "The Survivors" conveys an inspiring message of hope and renewal. "Few people know," she explains, "that by 1902, the last wild herd of bison numbered only 23 animals. Native Americans had been deprived of a deep spiritual connection with the bison, on whom their culture depended. I am gratified to know that concerted efforts are being made to reintroduce bison on tribal lands." Judy’s art takes us back to Yellowstone in 1902. We see life renewed in the bison calf and the land bringing forth new growth after a fire. Published from the artist’s original scratchboard painting.
