ALT Last 4th of July, we watched the parade in Lander, Wyoming. Participating in the parade was a Native American motorcycle group that pulled up and stopped right in front of us. I knew as soon as I saw this guy that I wanted to paint him. It seemed his entire look, from his own attire to the accoutrements on his ride, were intentional. My immediate impression was that he embodied a contemporary iconic image of his ancestors, with feathers and adornments, both on their persons and their horses. Upon closer look at my photos once back in the studio, I noticed that all the riders had a logo on both their bikes and their jackets, “Redrum – Warriors for the People”. I googled it and found them to be part of a national Native motorcycle club. It turned out there was a documentary on the club which I watched. One of the leaders spoke into the camera saying that for them, being a warrior meant they were servants – their mission was was to serve. That really resonated with me.
