‘Seeds of the Future’ by Lynnette Haozous

After a competitive call to artists, Lynnette Haozous has been chosen to create a commissioned installation entitled Seeds of the Future specifically for the Harwood Centennial. “I like to paint portraits of Native people in their element today, living both in the modern world, while carrying on our traditions of thousands of years.” – Lynnette Haozous
