NOW SHOWING:
BILL SOZA WARSOLDIER
Oil Painting from the Aspen Wolf series

Bill Soza Warsoldier,
(Soboba Band of Cahuilla Indians/White Mountain Apache), is one of the primary catalysts for a change which would make all of us "never look at Indian Art the same way again."  His work has a sophisticated starkness which almost forces an observer to be aware of the truths he talked about as a young man, and of which he talks of now. Please contact the Sherman Indian Museum for exhibit days and times.  (951)276-6719. Visit warsoldierartwork.com for more information.
