Shonto Begay "Shonto Moon"

Show through the end of July

The glow of the sacred mountain. The light she sits with, she holds like a crown.

All the places, the people and events are touched by the light.

These are spaces I am inspired by. These are my muses. The lines in every painting are the syllables of prayers and chants.

Shonto Begay "Topography of My Spirit in Flight"

Show through the end of July

Shonto Begay, Diné (Navajo) painter, illustrator and author

Join the magic of visions unconventional, unseen, and peaceful. The soaring view of homeland is a gift of wings you didn’t know you had. My paintings are expressions of the purity of the Shonto Plateau I still call home. Beauty in the truth, beauty in the sacred, and in the mysteries.

Wow! How the time flies, they say – true.

It’s been 19 years since I've shown at this venue.

The walls of this gallery have had wild expressions and serene visions of the familiar. I am truly honored to be in the company of the other wonderful artists. We complement one another. I thank you for spending time with my paintings. I hope this exhibit spoke to you.

Peace – Shonto
