Description

I am a Native American artist from the the Taos Pueblo tribe in Northern New Mexico. I am known primarily for my painted drums and stylized sculptures. I draw inspiration from the traditional images of my native roots which have been passed down for numerous generations. My Drums are traditionally made from deer, elk and buffalo hides and are painted with a sense of design that unites deep tradition with the contemporary. My stylized sculptures and design motifs are contemporary in nature and are integrated with form and color that result in a strong and vibrant balance that has been described as geometrical and organic at the same time. They range from a 3 feet to 15 feet tall and are powdercoated with UV/water resistant paint. They are designed to withstand the elements as a permanent installation whether standing as a focal point in a courtyard, attached to a wall, or in a rugged landscape.
