 I had so much fun painting Bear Bull that I just had to do it again. I dreamed about the whole process of creating this piece. From creating the canvas with raised design, to drawing the image and finally to throwing elderberry vodka, ink, water, gauche, and marker on it. I even put some scratches across it. Just when I thought "I've ruined it", I stepped back and dreamed about it again, and by God's grace, it all came together in a peaceful yet energetic creative expression. I was inspired to put some gold on it. If you step up close to it you can see the light reflecting off the gold in the scratches. It reminded me how as we learn to trust God, He blesses us with His grace and we reflect those golden hues of His Godliness and perfection. The beautiful Navajo women in the painting just happens to be my niece!  

Some of my art features Native Americans, also known as American Indians, who have lived and thrived on the North American landscape for thousands of years -- long before there was a United States. There are 500 federally recognized Tribes or Nations in the United States. Of those, Cheyenne, Apache, Navajo, Comanche, Sioux, and Blackfeet were some of the major Indian nations of the Old West in the 19th Century who lived in the Great Plains of North America, a vast area stretching from the Mississippi River to the west of the continent. The Southwest Tribes are located in Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado and include the Apache, Hopi, Navajo, Pueblo and Zuni.

I've focused on the Great Plains and Southwest Tribes because I am influenced by their history, particularly because of where I live, in Utah. I feel inspired to portray their struggles, their pride, their reverence toward the land, and their wisdom through my art. I believe every person has a story and I try to express their story through every wrinkle I draw. I want my art to move you when you look at it. I want you to feel their joy, their pain and their pride as you explore every detail of the drawing.
