The artists --all of whom have broken fresh ground in contemporary and Native American art --work in diverse media including painting, sculpture, prints, photography, video, and installation pieces. Their themes are equally varied: contemporary events, the impact of history, the power of language, Native identity, the value of humor, and personal memories. The twelve have been in numerous group and solo exhibitions throughout the United States and the world. " - National Museum of the American Indian"

QUOTE: - "No doubt, it is useful for an artist to know all the forms of art which have preceded or which accompany his. That is a sign of strength . . . . What I have to do is utilize as best I can the ideas which objects suggest to me, connect, fuse, and color in my way the shadows they cast within me, illumine them from the inside. And since of necessity my vision is quite different from that of the next man, my painting will interpret things in an entirely different manner even though it makes use of the same elements." [Pablo Picasso, c. 1948]
