ARTIST'S STATEMENT |
| After having had a spiritual experience, in what now seems incredulous today, I have become passionate about drawing painting and sculpting the Native American image. I feel this is a gift given to me for which I have the responsibility of sharing with the world. These images serve as a reminder of the spirit, power, and nobility of past generations of Native Americans too soon gone, but never forgotten. |
