‘Gvgeyui (I Love You)’ I’m inspired by my Mom, who brought me & my eight siblings into the world, & my big sister, Haley, who is preparing to welcome a new life this April.

©2025, Artwork by Mary Lupton. Painted digitally w/ an apple pencil, iPad Pro in Procreate.
A digital painting from Mary Lupton’s “Gvgeyui (I Love You)” depicts a new Cherokee mother in a blue shirt, holding her baby tenderly, wrapped in a red blanket, close and kissing them on the forehead. The mother has tattoo markings: a sun on her temple, wind on her right arm, water on her left, and leaves on vines down her lower arms. They are both centered in the sun, painted to look like gold leaf, with two dark blue and red rings framing the sun's rays. The primary color palette is gold, blue, and red.

Wild Onion Season 🧅🌾🌤️🌬️

I want to forage for some wild onions, but it’s much too windy and hazy! Stay safe out there folks! 😵‍💫

(Mary Lupton, “Wild Onion Season”, c. 2025. ink, alchol marker, and gold leaf; 8 in. x 8 in., Moore, Oklahoma)
A drawing by Mary Lupton, “Wild Onion Season” illustrates the upper half of a Cherokee girl holding a bunch of wild onions she has just foraged. She stands among tall grasses with the Oklahoma hills in the distance, beneath a blue sky with clouds and Southeastern Mississippian wind motifs.

Uktena: Lunar Envy 🐍🪶🔥🌖 First acrylic painting of the year! Yay! Really enjoyed painting this one. 😁 I plan to make prints available. Thinking I’ll save the original for show / market inventory. 🧐#cherokeeart #cherokeeartist #acyrlicpainting #uktena #moon
