Biografie

Daryl & Sharon No Heart

Daryl and his wife, Sharon No Heart, both Hunkpapa Lakota, have worked together over the past seven years, collaborating within their separate artistic disciplines. Daryl is a self-taught artist whose fine oil, acrylic, watercolor, and pen and ink artwork focuses on documenting and interpreting the Lakota culture. Sharon is a computer graphic artist, certified by the Minneapolis School of Communication Art. Daryl’s art work is a unique synthesis of traditional, interpretive expression combined with subtle, almost subliminal, images of traditional Lakota spiritual teaching. However, unlike Salvador Dali’s surrealistic paintings, each work by Daryl is a teaching that may literally take years to decipher, or even to discern all of the images and understand their symbolism. Daryl successfully blends the cultures of his Hunkpapa Lakota ancestors and modern America, bringing a new understanding to both. Daryl’s artwork is an effective tool in helping non-natives to understand the Lakota lifeway. He has illustrated several books, painted murals on public buildings, and his traditional paintings have been captured graphically by Sharon in digitally reproduced limited edition prints.

These reproductions expand the audience for Daryl’s work, making it available to a broad cross-section of the public. These reproductions have also made it possible for Daryl’s work to be used in seminars and lectures by authors Celinda Reynolds Kaelin and Ed McGaa (Eagle Man) as teaching tools. Daryl and Sharon hope to expand on this work, and share in seminars. To use their art and graphics in teaching the traditional lifeway.

It is a sad irony that American Indian art is receiving public acceptance at an unprecedented rate, and yet the profits from this demand flow only to non-Indian businesses and individuals. One of the most popular greeting card companies, is a case in point. Their best selling art work depicts American Indian culture. Unfortunately, however, all of these works are produced by non-Indian artists.

President John Kennedy said that we have "much to learn about the heritage of our American Indians." If the main tenets of this culture, this lifeway, are presented by non-Indians, however, then all of society will have suffered a profound loss. It is imperative that authentic, American Indian voices are heard. One hundred years ago, the United States Government sought to destroy the American Indian culture by making their spiritual practices illegal and schooling their children in our dominant society’s lifeways. Now these same tools need to be employed in rewording, retelling, and repainting the story of Native culture. Daryl and Sharon No Heart do appreciate the opportunity to inform the state, the nation and the world about the people, traditions, and ceremonies of the Lakota.
