Margaret LaBounty:
From an early age, multifaceted artist Margaret LaBounty
began developing a keen sense of awareness about her surroundings. Having
explored the wide open expanse of the west for a number of years,
she and her husband made their home in the Four Corners area.
This area is
famous for petroglyph imagery, and serves as a great inspiration to the
artist. It is here at the edge of Navaho land, nestled between ancient
walls of red rock and Anasazi ruins, where she draws from all that nature
and history have to offer. |

art. Neil Rose is no stranger to the outdoors. He became very
familiar with the outdoors and wildlife at a very young age, learning to
hunt and fish from his father.

rich in wildlife. and has great appreciation and interest in his subject

life, western artist Ron Moore grew up spending his time as a rancher,
working cowboy and packer in the American West. When he was a child, his
family left Oklahoma for the west and Ron spent his life making horse

virtually unknown as a Hopi artist. Today his contemporary carvings are
hot items on the Native American market. Gerry is known for carving
Kachina dolls and alike that are inspired by his Hopi roots. Twenty five
years ago he started doing beadwork and making dream catchers to pay for

Grandfather who still carves, and his mother who is an accomplished
painter. |
