Runnels' commercial art studies at Ray-Vogue School of Design and the American Academy of Art, both in Chicago, led him to a career as a successful commercial artist. After twelve year as a commercial artist-illustrator in Chicago he returned home to Pine Ridge in 1973. Since then, Runnels has devoted himself primarily to the fine arts. He gives a great deal of credit to the annual Red Cloud Art Show where he has received many awards and much encouragement. Runnels is one of nine Sioux artists who were instrumental in organizing the Dream Catchers Guild. The purpose of this organization is to re-establish the importance of art in the Sioux culture, to promote art markets, and to encourage emerging Sioux artists''
