Best wishes to all for a safe & happy 2010!

Below is a link to a video-photo documentary from the Syracuse Post-Standard showing how the Onondaga Nation of the Iroquois Confederacy celebrate the New Year. Highly recommended!

About Me

I am a freelance artist living in Arkansas, US, specializing in historical portraits of American Indians. I blog about the portrayal and influence of Native Americans in art, history, and the media.

I am fascinated by history and world cultures, ancient and modern, and particularly indigenous peoples. My other interests include wildlife ecology, environmental issues & sustainability, journalism, photography, web design & development. I enjoy music and reading (see my book list here).

You can see some of my pastel work, and my drawings in charcoal and graphite, by visiting my online Gallery.
