"The moment of acceptance into the Cowboy Artists of America in 2001 was the most honored point of my career. As a way to celebrate this occasion I chose to depict a Plains Warrior reflecting on images that tell the story of his past victories. His exploit robe is a chronicle of his heroic deeds. The robe represents more than just his story. At this moment, he is reflecting not only on his past, but also how he is seen through the eyes of his people who presented him with the robe. He is using this to draw strength before going to battle. Not unlike the warrior preparing for battle, I believe we all draw strength from the acceptance of our peers." |
