My nationality is full blood Navajo born in Farmington, New Mexico and raised in TeecNosPos, Arizona. My kinship clans are Towering House and Many Goats. I sign my sculptures with my grandfather’s Indian name “Kay-dih”, which translates into “the last born in his family”. I grew up in the Four Corners region from pre-school until Jr. High school in TeecNosPos and attended high school in Aztec and Kirkland, New Mexico. I then continued my education at Highlands University in Las Vegas, New Mexico for three years studying Business Management. Later on I attended a Technical Vocational Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico for machine trades technology. From then on I worked as a machinist at Seeley Enterprises in Albuquerque and Allied Signal in Chandler, Arizona for five years.<br>"I have always had an interest in art throughout my life. Every year throughout grammar school, jr. high, high school and college I took part in creating some form of art. I grew fond of realism from my father’s oil paintings, silversmithing and other artists who could make their artwork look realistic. I started sculpting alabaster in 1984. It was through watching my cousin, Herbert Peterson, Jr., that I got advice from and a general since of the art. He always emphasized that you can do anything you want with art. I always knew that an artist has to be original and have their own style. I took it from that point on to make a piece here and there just to get the satisfaction from the buyers and because I needed extra cash. In 1969 I decided to make a career change as a fulltime artist.<br>"I express realism and mythical contemporary Native Americans through my art in their traditional fashions. I have toyed with abstract art, offered and encouraged to work in wax-bronze pieces. I also have some experience in making silver beads and I like watercolor. Right now I am satisfied with people enjoying and wanting to own something I create. My first impression when looking at a raw piece of rock is asking myself ‘what in the world can I make out of this.” I can have as many as three ideas for one rock and there are times when only one idea will fit into the one piece of rock. I try to select rock that have no cracks and that have good coloration.<br>"My parent teased me while growing up that ideas aren’t bought. That told me through patience I can seemingly overcome any impossible task. There is always room to grow and I know through time one day I will reach the potential I would like to be recognized as. So all I can do is keep trying. I feel that is all anyone can do.<br>Ps- I can personally help with your shipping arrangements if needed.<br>
