Bearcloud's Gallery

bearcloud opened his own gallery and displayed his works along with many of the native american friends that were in his world. it was located in gold rush country at the base of the sierra mountains. it was close to yosemite and the mountain passes, where he spent much time working on his visions. they were mountains that reflected the inspiration that is revealed through the landscape. then in the late 80's, his vision returned him to his origins, the mountains and gorges of arizona, a journey he had begun at the age of five. not long after that, he moved there. the area reflected the spirit that he was most inspired to paint. there, he opened another gallery in an affluent shopping center, that in itself reflected an essence of spirit, as the trees mingled through the stucco walls. from there he continually returned to the land of ceremony. he said once in his inipi (sweat lodge), he thanks the spirit, the creator, the great mystery for loaning him these paintbrushes to do the work
