"Puuku" is the Native American Comanche, or Numunu word for "Horse." "Numunu" is the original name of the Comanche People, meaning "The People."
The Palomino Horse in "A True Leader - Puuku" is one of several Semi-Relief Sand Sculptures in my Native American Medicine Wheel series.
Horse gave our Ancestors speed and the power to carry great burdens, making Horse much honored and highly-prized. Horse teaches traits of a good Leader by reminding us that abuse of power does not lead to wisdom, & by showing us how to balance heavy workloads with the joy of play.
Horse teaches us that true power is given to those who are willing to carry responsibility in a balanced manner, & that Compassion, Caring, Teaching, Loving, & Sharing make a True Leader.
The Feather pointed down marks the Tribal Chief as a Man of Peace. The Yellow Cross on the Neck represents the Four Directions & Peace. The Red Circle around the Eye aids in the ability to see Danger ahead. The Three Blue Notches on the Nose represent the Number of War Honors. The Beaded Diamond shape on the Medicine Bag is symbol of the "Medicine Man’s Eye," for he advises the Chief in many matters.
A reproduction Stone Arrowhead is embedded at the tip of the Arrow. The Arrowhead itself represents alertness and direction. A left pointing Arrow aids in warding off evil.
A Genuine Tigers Eye gemstone is embedded in the center of the Medicine Bag. Tiger’s Eye is known to sharpen our Inner Vision with an understanding of the Cause & Effect of each situation. It encourages us to use our powers wisely, & allows information to be brought together in a cohesive whole.

I learned about the traditional Navajo sand art, commonly known as Sand Painting, from a Native co-worker when I was stationed in New Mexico in the 1990's. From there, I have developed my own signature sand sculpture style, which literally builds up upon the traditional technique. In respect for the origins of this art form, I have embarked upon my Native American Medicine Wheel series. In each sculpture I take an animal and attempt to help the viewer understand various Native American "medicines" through symbolism.
My signature Sand Sculptures consist completely of hundreds of layers of sand held together with a water/glue mix, which I brush onto the Birch Plywood base, or other wooden base, & each layer of sand thereafter. No moldings are used. The finalized sculpture is coated with a topcoat to ensure stability and adds another level of "sticking power" to the sand. While the sculpture should be handled with care, it is completely touchable, and will not fall apart under normal handling or display.
The sand is naturally colored, meaning no paint or dyes are used, and is either purchased from Scenic Sand or collected from my travels around the world. For example, White is from Florida's Gulf Coast, Black from Mexico's beaches, Yellow from the country Jordan, Reds & Browns from the Painted Desert in Utah, Pink from Bermuda's beaches, and Tans from Virginia Beach.
Some portions of my sculptures can extend out a couple of inches from the board giving the piece quite a bit of dimension, but make this sort of work very time consuming as the glue mixture must be set before applying the next layer, and there are several hundred layers of sand composing each sculpture.
