Honor the Earth: Impacted Nations: a traveling art show: Artists: Sean Nash

Sean Levon Nash, Muskogee Creek/Choctaw/Comanche/Brule
Mr. Nash specializes in pre-Columbian native art and produces work in a number of styles including Mayan, Aztec, Southwest and Northwestern designs. He has created several hundred images for Dia de los Muertos enthusiasts, ranging from traditional genre painting to satirical pieces and tribute works. According to Mr. Nash, “ King Coal is as much a tribute to the environmental work of Robert F. Kennedy as it is a reference to the work of the late Basquait, whose style is more widely representative of the East Coast.” Mr. Nash was born in 1973 and raised in California “in the context of an environmental movement saturated by non-Indians who never made the connection to our culture a focus, and therefore tend to leave out the relationship between conservative and conservation.”
