Brenda Ross lives with
her three children in their Ancestral Family Home, located at the beach on
the Lummi Nation Reservation.
As a member of the Lummi nation, keeping alive
the spiritual cultural heritage in the form of art, fulfills her life long
passion to create. Most all Brenda's materials are collected at her beachfront
home, and surrounding forests of the beautiful Northwest.
The most powerful inspiration came about with
the first "Windancer on Rocks" giving insight to a new dimension of the spirit
world. Creating from nature allows real spiritualism to be formed in each
handmade crafted piece of art. Brenda is guided throughout each project from
this spirit world.
Each unique piece of hand crafted wood art
is a home for a select spiritual entity. While living on a separate plane
than ours—the spirit is waiting for the completion of its new home;
the spirit guides the artist throughout the creation. Each native spirtual
piece, is one of a kind, as individual as each spirit, but all contain one
very strong thing in common. They are blessed with a sacred spirtual entity
here to help who ever possesses that piece of art.
Many have different purposes for use. The Rattle
is a musical instrument, ceremonial, and a unique decorative piece. There
are walking sticks, canes, talking sticks, and WINDANCERS — as well
as many other original creations for all to enjoy.
"Native culture art is part of our heritage
and shall live on forever"
