Welcome to My Site
I am Din� (Navajo), I have been an artist for 28 years. From stick airplanes & stick figures to hot rods to skulls, I have been using my creativity in many different forms and mediums.
I work mainly in acrylics and pen & ink. However, I have also worked with pencils, pastels, charcoal, pottery, and wood carving. I have been expressing my creativity through these different mediums by using surrealistic art, and Native American themes. My recent paintings reflect the various influences that I have been exposed to while traveling through different cultures and landscapes.
I'm am also a contemporary computer artist and graphic designer who improvised on traditional Navajo designs that were used to inspire Din� rug and basket weavers to create award winning woven art. My work has been championed by the Simpson family, owners of the Twin Rocks Trading Post, in Bluff, Utah.
I have also done lectures and seminars on the history of Din� art and culture and was also featured in several newspaper and magazine articles, a TV news commentary, a video from BYU university, and numerous books.
