The work here has been chosen to show the effect that this visually stunning place in bush Alaska has on the senses of those who are natives of this Yup'ik village, and those who have come to it from the Outside. The tundra, trees, snow, sky, hills, rivers, wildlife, and Alaskan light surround us, and are seen in many ways. It is pleasing that there are young people here who are absorbing and reflecting the beauty of St. Mary's', and that it is also an inspiration to practicing artists.

"My Mountains"-colored pencil and tempera, by Nathan
Nathan puts himself into his work--literally. Those mountains spell out his name!

This is very cool. I love the colors and the license taken with the mountains. Halfway between a memory and a vision.
