About Our Artists |
Adrian Larvie, a 36-year old Oglala Lakota/Sioux, was born at Pine Ridge, South Dakota on the Pine Ridge Reservation.

He then received his Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts from the College of Santa Fe, where he studied with Van Paquin, a respected Zuni artist. An influential piece of Adrian's gift comes from V ision Quests, which enabled him to produce creations that reflect the path he has chosen. He has had shows throughout the US, and teaches Indian Art Workshops. He works with acrylics, oils and pastels, as well as creating sculptures in soapstone, pipestone and alabaster. He is currently not available for painting custom drums. |

Roger Long is a bit of a naturalist, a bit of a historian, and a bit of
an activist, but mostly he’s an artist. Roger has expressed himself in many
ways over the years. Boosting the salmon population begins with Evergreens
and ends with banners for Roger as he finished his ten year quest of
recording the six species of Salmon in 1995 by producing 179 banner
paintings, plus many signed and numbered prints. The six species of Salmon
cover Chinook, Steelhead, Coho, Sockeye, Chum and Pink.
Roger produces
Sumi, watercolors, carved relief encaustics, acrylic mixed media, sand and
gold leaf paintings and murals.
