I was born in Cushing, Oklahoma located at the edge of the prairies and the beginning of the rolling hills of eastern Oklahoma. It was an area of the Sauk and Fox, Pawnee and Ponca and numerous other Plains Indians. This was during World War II Money was almost non-existent, but we camped, hunted, fished and attended many Indian pow-wows. Later, I was to find out I was part Indian and having many Indian friends was quite proud of that fact. An artist must have a deep feeling for the art he creates. To Me, art is a physical expression of an emotional experience.
