Description

In the past 40+ years of my professional art career I have refined and fine tuned my painting/drawing skills in the areas of watercolor, acrylic, pastel and oil media. I often do research of new ways to improve my talent by taking online seminars and classes. I have always strived for excellence in all that I do and I believe this work ethic has served me well. I also choose to utilize the best oil, watercolor, acrylic and pastel pigments available. Additionally, I use the best quality canvas, watercolor and pastel papers to create my artwork. I have found that the best way to pass on my traditions and techniques is to instruct young people and children through art seminars in schools. My subject matter comes from personal experience and from a photographic memory which is a gift from The Creator of All Things. The legacy that I want to leave behind is the pure appreciation of Native American culture and history, nature, wildlife and landscapes through my talent and gift.
