Show
highlights Native American Art
Look
at James Starkey ledger art with its exquisite themes, detail and color,
and it speaks volumes of the Lakota man's heritage, history and continuing
evolution.
"In
any great art, you recognize the humanity," he says.
At
38, Starkey has struggled to get his work into the mainstream. He has
steered clear of pot-boiler, Southwest fad-based art. Starkey paints what
he knows. "It contains a story that I tell the collector, and as
the years go by, the story grows and changes," Starkey says.
