The original sketch for this painting was drawn sitting amongst the scrub oaks at the base of the La Plata Mountains north of Mancos, CO.  
​
Mama Mancos is an honoring of the abundance and aliveness of the land.  The sleeping pregnant figure is a representation of mother earth: her flesh and blood are the hills and valleys and rivers.  Her body gives life to all the plants and animals that root and walk upon her.  This painting is one of acknowledgement and gratitude.
