According to the artist, “I love painting the American Indian subject matter for what seems to me the obvious reasons: their culture represents one of the most honest, colorful, and creative times in the world. There is a tremendous romance to it. Yes, it was a hard life and often a brutal life, but they survived and lived in one of the most beautiful places on the planet...”
