About the Artist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Redwing Ted Nez was born in 1960 and raised on the Navajo reservation in northern Arizona. He was trained as a traditional sandpainter and later attended the University of Northern Arizona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nez was profiled in the November 1994 issue of Southwest Art<\/em> magazine. He has exhibited and won awards in numerous shows in the Southwest, including at the Santa Fe Indian Market and at the Museum of Northern Arizona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nez recently wrote and illustrated Forbidden Talent, a children’s book about a young Navajo boy who loved to create art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An accomplished muralist, Redwing Nez was commissioned to paint a 60 foot long mural gracing the wall along Centennial Walkway facing Flagstaff\u2019s historic train station, below Route 66, where the Flagstaff Visitor Center is located. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Redwing Nez currently works out of his studio in the now-defunct Bita Hochee Trading Post, built around 1870 on the Navajo reservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
