Join Me at the Heard Museum in Phoenix March 6th and 7th. I’ll be bringing a huge selection of my serigraphs as well as a couple drums. Stop by and say Hi. I love to see each and every one on you.

The Tulsa Indian Art Festival was fun. I love going to new places and seeing new people. One of the things I love about traveling through Indian Country is seeing different Tribal customs and traditions. It was great to experience new things in Tulsa. Up next is the Heard Museum. This year I’ll be in the same spot as the last two years. Area 0 space 9. next to the back entrance way. I have several new works for this year and hope for a couple more before the market starts. It’s going to be a great show they say over 700 artists will be there. These are the best of the best, if you like Indian art you really shouldn’t miss this event. The artists who participate in the Heard are world class regardless of genre. Some of the very best painters, potters, jewelers, and others are there. I haven’t been able to see them all yet, I could easily spend all three days just looking at the wonderful work that is available. Well worth the trip. I hope to see you there. Take Care

Hi Everyone, Hope you are having a wonderful holiday season. Makah and Friends was a great event. I want to thank everyone who came out and supported the artists. I just wanted to make one quick last minute announcement. I will be at Discovery Park Tomorrow (Sat Dec 18th) for an art market. The market starts at 10 and goes until 4 or 5 I’m not sure which. It will be my last market of the year so if you want something come and get it. Thanks for the support throughout the year. Take Care

Happy Holidays and have a wonderful new year.

Hi Everyone, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We eat lots of turkey, pumpkin pie, and pecan pie. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and one I hope you all enjoy. OK now on to business. I’ll be at the NMAI in New York this weekend for their annual holiday art market. come by and say hi. It’s free to get in, and there are always wonderful artists in attendance. It’s at One Bowling Green in Manhattan, and quite an interesting building as well and being a good show. I hope to see you there.

Gray’s Papaya here we come.

I can understand why California is the most populous state. Warm weather and sunshine are good for the soul. The Autry show was a lot of fun I made some great contacts (and wonderful trades). I had a few interesting things happen when I was there.
It seems the world is getting smaller and smaller all the time. A young man approached my booth with a big grin, he looked at one of my serigraphs (Kindred Spirits) and excitedly told me that he had it in his home. His family had visited the Steinbrueck Gallery in Seattle, they had seen the piece as soon as they walked in and had to get it. I can’t describe what it feels like to hear stories like that. I know that the work has reached many corners of the world, but to actually meet someone who has purchased work from a third party thousands of miles away is pretty amazing. Thanks for that. Also thanks for adding to your collection. I truly appreciate everyone who stops by to chat and those who support the art by purchasing pieces thank you so much, it makes a big difference and makes it possible for me to travel and share the work with a wider audience.
I love California and hope to return sometime soon to enjoy the sun, and fresh produce. If you know of any shows in the area feel free to contact me, I’d be interested. Take Care Everyone, hope you have a wonderful day.
