Description
In Native American Culture, a horse generally represents freedom, power, wealth, larger teepees, easier means of transporting entire villages, and a spiritual connection to the natural world. The horse is sacred to Native Americans and is viewed as an equal and/or a relative. The newfound speed and efficiency of hunting on horseback provided an abundance of high-quality meat hides for tipis and clothing. Horses are considered a powerful source of healing among all nations. In fact, horse therapy on the reservation is quickly becoming an accepted and effective method of treating trauma for Native American children and teens.

About the Artist
Karon's "spelt with an O?" As Owner, Karon Crutchley, I thought why not name my Art and Floral business service Karon's. My name’s spelling has always been an excellent conversation starter. Karon’s is located just outside of Eufaula, Oklahoma. The design passion started in fourth grade while residing in a small rural town in Owasso, Oklahoma. Art & softball scholarships assisted the financing of continued education at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, the home of Cherokee Nation. Years wove many different paths of design into the pattern of life. Those consisted of areas such as hand-sewn custom drapes; custom hand-painted children’s furniture published in Horchow magazines; interior design of Vogue luxury bus liners; art instructor of private schools; floral designer for wedding coordinators would be some on the list. Recent accomplishments include being selected as one of six muralist for Eufaula Mural Festival along side artist names such as Tracy Lee Stum 3D Muralist; selected artist for 3rd Annual Scenic 2023 Art Exhibit; receiving 2024 Biafarin Award; and selected juried artist of 2024 53rd Annual Trail of Tears Art Show.
I am a blessed wife, mother of four sons, grandmother of four, surrounded by family and friends and filled with the peace from my Maker. This time has allowed me to pursue my true passion, “painting!” The inspirations now flow easily and excitingly. So what’s next? My hopes that by sharing the gift of talent that was given me will create a friendship, will be a joy to you and to hear you say "I Love My New Art!” Karon Crutchley Karon’s 918-948-0737 Karons.KC@gmail.com Facebook.com//Karons.KC Instagram.com//Karons.KC
