About the Artist - R.C. Gorman
R.C. Gorman (1931-2005) was a prominent American Navajo artist renowned for his contributions to Native American art.

His impact extended beyond art, as he actively supported Native American education and community development. R.C. Gorman's legacy endures as a trailblazer who bridged tradition and innovation in Native American art.
