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