David's first pencils were given to him by his uncles, all gifted artists who never became known by the public. He feels that he owes his success to them. David now resides in Alabama, and is active in the Pow Wow circuit. He is best known for his portrayals of dancers, most of whom he knows personally. "My art, is paying tribute to the contemporary Indian dancers who are keeping the traditions of our ancestors alive. "I feel that the modern-day Pow Wow brings about important social interchange between the nemah (We People) and di-eeh vohn (White People)."
David's work has won numerous awards and has been featured on the covers of various magazines and Native calendars. He was born at Owyhee County (Indian Land - no city), Idaho. David can be reached at:

Eveningthunder, Shoshone, spent his early childhood on the Shoshone-Bannock Reservation in Fort Hall, Idaho. The
spiritual guidance he received from his father and grandfather, both medicine people, helped him maintain his identity
even after he became orphaned at a young age and was taken away from his people.
As well
as the exchange of culture, the camaraderie between different tribes helps to form a stronger bond and cohesive
foundation for our children."
