I discovered this wonderful art at Cow Canyon Trading Post in Bluff, Utah by Navajo artist Thomas Begay. "Thomas creates unique folk art pieces that bring together intricate woodwork with detailed painting. His work recreates elements of Navajo sandpaintings in hand-cut carvings that are painted with earth pigments and then assembled with a refined quality of craftsmanship. A descendent of medicine men on both sides of his family, he shares his interpretations of cermeonial images and ancient myths through his work." #nativeamerican #folkart #americanheritage
