Abeyta | To’Hajiilee K’é at the Wheelwright
While some families are creative hobbyists on the weekends, art was a full-time lifestyle for Tony Abeyta (Navajo) and his family of decorated artists.
His father Narciso, a World War II Navajo Code Talker and Golden Gloves boxer, is known for his figurative paintings depicting Navajo life—his work is held in the collections of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian and the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.
