"TATANKA ~ BUFFALO SKULL"
"Tatanka" is the Native American Lakota word for "Buffalo."
Buffalo were held in high regarded by the people as a special gift from the Creator, for not only did Buffalo provide food, but also the hide for clothing and shelter, and tools for everyday life. Because Buffalo helped to make life possible, it's Skull became a great symbol in Lakota ritual and ceremony. The Buffalo serves as a reminder of the animal who gives completely of itself for others, and teaches us to be generous and to give to those in need.

As a Fine Art and Consignment artist for over 30 years, I work in a variety of mediums, but primarily work in Oils and Semi-Relief Sand Sculpture. I paint a wide range of subjects, but specialize in landscapes, oftentimes presenting my love of the mountains and the West through my scenes. Beyond the traditional landscape, many of my paintings tie history or symbolism together to create a story or emotional connection with the viewer.
I learned about the traditional Navajo sand art, commonly known as Sand Painting, from a Native co-worker when I was stationed in New Mexico in the 1990's. From there, I have developed my own signature sand sculpture style, which literally builds up upon the traditional technique. In respect for the origins of this art form, I have embarked upon my Native American Medicine Wheel series. In each sculpture I take an animal and attempt to help the viewer understand various Native American "medicines" through symbolism.
