"I enjoy releasing the inner beauty of humans. Native Americans epitomize the strength and spirit of the best of humankind. Their respect for the earth and all of creation is unparalleled. The treatment these people received was sorrowful and disgraceful ... yet they reacted with dignity and truth. I strive to honor their spirit and reflect their strength and reverence."
