Welcome to My Site
I am Diné (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 Diné 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 Diné 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.
