Chholing Tata Art Exhibit at the Bigfork Art
Gallery
The Chholing Taha exhibit is the October art show at the Edge Art
Gallery in Bigfork this
year. She is a Cree First Nations artist born in Canada and is now based in Anoka Minnesota .
She uses Native imagery to express both contemporary issues and
indigenous stories. She is a master story teller, artist and
seamstress from which her name "The Shawl Lady"
originates. Chholing Taha’s vibrant colors and masterful interpretations
of Native North American’s tales, myths, legends and dreams, leap out from the
paintings and shawls you’ll see when you visit Edge during October. Come and
see Chholing’s work at the Edge Gallery from October 4th through the 27th . The gallery is next to the Bigfork School and is open from 10 am to 4 pm on Thursdays,
Fridays, and Saturdays. Admission to the gallery and October 5th reception is
free.
October brings artist Chholing Taha to the Edge Gallery. A master story teller, artist
and seamstress of exceptional talent, her masterful interpretations of
Native North American’s tales, myths, legends and dreams, bring story, color and artistic expression into incredible works of art.
Chholing Taha was born in Canada and now based in Anoka. She
draws on symbols from tribes from the Northwest coast, as well as the Great
Lakes tribes, and it is her heart’s wish to instill a sense of mystery within
anyone who views her work and discovers that place within each of us that beats
together as one communal “spirit drum” common to all of humanity. Her paintings act as an honoring, translating and
preserving great stories, traditions, and messages.
Chholing Taha will be showing her work at the
