Venice’s theme for this event was “Resilience!” I chose to highlight “Indigenous Farming” as a resilient, celebration of culture and heritage. The image is modeled after a photo by Ojibwe Photographer Ivy Vainio of her friend Veronica Skinaway farming. I chose to give her “The three sisters” to carry in the image (beans, corn and squash). This farming trio is a traditional teaching of community working together to be more resilient and strive. The framing of the central image is meant to mimic the ribbon dresses of traditional regalia. 12’ by 12’ tempera and artist pastel 17 hours Venice Chalkfestival Venice, Florida April 1-3, 2022
