Family’s artistic talents shine at Santa Fe competition By Keith PurtellPhoenix Staff Writer “I think about it a whole lot,” he said. “I’d like to carry on the name.”
Kari, who works in paints, said she used thick layers of oil paint that took a long time to dry. “I entered a painting of a dancer titled ‘American Pride,’” she said. “I wanted to interpret the beauty and strength of the Native American dancer.” Kari said she gets a lot of inspiration from her dad and from grandfather Creepingbear. Kari says she’s only been painting seriously for two years. “I tried pottery, but it broke into a hundred pieces and I got discouraged,” she said. Ron said the family’s artistic accomplishments have been made possible by the Cherokee Artists Association, which has a gallery in Tahlequah. He also credits a spiritual source. “If it wasn’t for God in our lives, we couldn’t do all these things,” he said. “We’re thankful for being given this talent.”
