About The Artwork

This floral design from Crow Tribe beadwork traditions, reflects the deep cultural connection between the Apsáalooke people and the natural beauty of their Montana homelands. The bold red and yellow flowers, often seen in traditional regalia and adornment, symbolize the vibrant wildflowers that bloom across the plains and foothills of the region.
These patterns not only honor the land’s natural abundance but also represent life and the sacred relationship between the Crow people and land.

For the Crow people, floral patterns are more than decoration. They are a language of memory, identity, and spirituality. Flowers in beadwork often symbolize beauty, growth, renewal, and the interconnectedness of all life.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

DC Allen "Del Curfman"

DC Allen aka Del Curfman grew up in the divides between his Apsáalooke (Crow Tribe of Montana) heritage and the greater Western/Montana/ Non-Native culture, forever influencing him and his artwork. A graduate and alumni of the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) and emerging artist, his work has found significance as a reminder that American Indian culture and traditions have not faded into history or obscurity. His artwork is a conduit for cross-cultural dialogue. Through time, space, and movement his paintings transgress the boundaries and limits of American Indian stereotypes. His work has been featured internationally, at the Field Museum of Chicago and the Neubauer, in local and national publications, and in galleries in New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, and Bristol U.K.

The artist is now based in Santa Fe, New Mexico where he remains concentrated on creating socially aware, community-engaged artwork.
