ARTIST STATEMENT
My English name is Greg Red Elk and my Dakota name is He-Haka-Duta meaning Red Elk. I am a Vietnam Era Veteran, self-taught artist and started
painting in October of 1997. I paint native peoples and symbolism and at
first my paintings were works from photography. Today I paint images from
my heart and past using symbolism. I hope to tell the story of my past, present,
and future while bringing forth images that connect me to the spirit world.
I feel like these spirits, my Ghost Faces, come to me because they want to
be seen and painted. |
