The art we use on Turtle Talk is from a painting called “The Seeds Are Planted” by Zoey Wood-Salomon.  In 2007 we asked Zoey to do two paintings for us, one to use for the Center generally and another for our 4th annual conference.

Ever since then, we’ve tried to use original Native art for our programs and posters:
