Sharing my items is a great way to learn about the Native story. My goal is to meet and connect with you in a way that promotes our mutual interest in beautiful objects created by those who came well before us.
This bowl, which has shell tempered clay and measures 4″ tall and 9″ diameter, is considered to be a rare example of a piece of complete pottery from the Scott County Pueblo, El Cuartelejo, in Western Kansas. While there are no papers documenting this bowl from these ruins, evidence is strong for this consideration due […]
It is very rare to come across a Pueblo drum as early as this one. It came to me recently directly from a Pueblo person who had had it some time before getting it from another Pueblo person. While dating these drums is not easy, I feel safe in saying that it is likely mid […]
I will have a booth at the Jackson Hole Fine Art Fair opening this Sept. 12 and going through Sept 15. While this show will be mostly contemporary and Western art, I will be a booth dedicated to Navajo, Pueblo and Rio Grande textiles as well as a small grouping of fine historic Southwest pottery. […]
Transformational Object When I find an object that grabs me to my core, I know that a new path in my life is going to open up. I can feel the energy pulling me into an unknown space. I’ve been doing this collecting long enough to see the pattern. Buying is the easy part – […]
Well, maybe not great, but for my 15 ft by 15 ft gallery, it’s about as great as I can get. The totem borders the left side and topped by a Hopi tableta, centered by the classic Navajo child’s size blanket and then framed to the right by the Navajo cradleboards on the top and […]

Possibly Sioux / Lakota Origins? This sewing case, circa 1880, measures approximately 10 x 6 inches, spreading to a thickness of about 1″ with its contents. I was told that the hide is bear, but I rather think it’s cowhide, black and worn smooth and repaired on both front and back with old stitching. The […]
