I am a native New Mexican artist and have been painting for most of my life. I have been honored at many shows. I have been Invited and participated in the Cherokee Nation museum Trail of Tears art show in Tahlequah, Oklahoma numerous times. Although I consider myself as self taught, I have attended art classes at the University of New Mexico and have studied under Emily Trovillion. My main media is oil paint, but I also do wood carving and sculpting.
