"None of us perceive the world in exactly the same way. Our oneness lies in a yearning to touch and to understand. My work is an endeavor to share my thoughts and vision through form and color and relationships, hoping to charge my images with meaning which will reach across the spaces between us."

Over the years I’ve learned to appreciate excellence although I rarely achieve it. The closest I come is in the ephemeral areas of concept and integrity. But, since I believe that my next effort will be my best, I will continue to pursue excellence.

Description

The Navajo Nation currently comprises the largest reservation in the United States. Extending into the states of Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. It covers 16 million acres of mountain and desert land with a population of over 150,000 people.

The Navajo, or Dine’, are famous for their crafts, including handwoven rugs, woven from the wool of their own sheep and often colored with vegetal dyes. They are also known for their beautiful skill work, utilizing techniques learned many hundreds of years ago from the Spanish and Mexicans.

This cross design is inspired by traditional Navajo rug patterns.
