| Ramon Murillo is
a member of the Shoshone-Bannock tribe. His Native American heritage
permeates his imagery. Tribal and personal symbols derived from his dreams
and participation in various ceremonies lead him on a continual journey depicting
life as a human being living in harmony with the Earth and Spirit World.
The 1992 show entitled "Decolonizing the Human
Mind" (Seattle, Washington) has described Ramon as having produced profound
images that convey the changes he believes is the body and spirit of Indian
Country and himself, which is a major test to any peoples' vision.
Ramon received his Master of Fine Arts (MFA)
in Printmaking from the University of Oregon, Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA)
and Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Art Education from Idaho State University. He
is the first Native art instructor to be employed full-time by Northwest
Indian College. |
