Nocona Burgess<br />
I met my wife, Danielle, at USAO. She is also<br />
an artist and is very supportive of my art. After<br />
graduation in 1999, we were married and<br />
moved back to Santa Fe. I began painting and<br />
things started to work out. I started to get into<br />
shows and to sell my paintings again. My art<br />
opened doors. My first show was at Red Earth<br />
in Oklahoma City.<br />
In 2000, my brother and I were asked to be in a<br />
show in Holland, and from there the show<br />
traveled to Belgium and Germany. Since then,<br />
I have traveled around the United States and to<br />
South Africa showing my work.<br />
I paint from historical photos of Native Americans; I’ve always had a passion for history. I grew up<br />
learning the history of my Comanche and Kiowa people. I was also encouraged to read and to find<br />
out more on my own. This was combined with my love of art. I started making art as soon as I could<br />
pick up a crayon. I recently was given a box of my drawings from my mother. These were from<br />
when I was around 3-4 years old: of course, they were Indians.<br />
I’ve always wanted to tell a bit of a story of their lives. These were people; human beings that lived<br />
loved and fought. I never wanted my paintings to be just “Indian in a Blanket” type of art. I wanted<br />
people to see them and their story and histories and beauty and people. I try to avoid the stereotype<br />
or cultural cliché’s. I’ve just always had a passion for those images and their stories. I am<br />
always looking for images and stories.<br />
