About the artist:
Rena Tahy - Wood Carver:Nominee of a Utah Governor's Folk Artist Award, Rena Juan has multiple talents up her sleeve that she produces when the need arises- like rug weaving and clay pottery- but wood carving is what she loves doing most, and it shows in her pieces. Rena takes an old dead piece of cottonwood, pine, or basswood, rough cuts it with a chainsaw, then begins carving new life into it. When she is finished, her carved and painted figures represent the Navajo lifestyle both in form and in spirit, creating an aura of realism, warmth, and personality.

Sheep
The gods,
of course, had had the animals from the beginning of time. When they arranged
the world and planned the pattern of hte stars in the sky, they first laid the
glittering objects out on a sheepskin. The Sun, father of the war gods, possessed
a flock of sheep in four colors. The beautiful and human myth of the Shooting
Chant tells how he offered these to his twin children when they had sought and
found him. More about this legend
