The Guardian by James Ayers

The Guardian, by James Ayers portrays a mounted Plains warrior in a feathered headdress drawing his bow, rendered in warm, painterly light against a soft, abstracted background. Ayers, a Flagstaff, Arizona-based artist trained at the Rhode Island School of Design, paints Native American subjects with careful attention to historically accurate dress, weapons, and regalia, drawing on years spent researching and living among Indigenous communities in North America and Africa.
