Rowan Harrison Diné (Navajo)/Isleta, b. 1969 Ancestral Skies, 2013 Reductive linoleum relief with monotype and lithography Collection of the C.N. Gorman Museum, UC Davis. Gift of the artist. “Patterns and designs are as limitless as the human imagination, spanning the globe. Inspired by patterns from various cultures, in conjunction with my own Native American background, I paint free hand using no stencils, orchestrating across the surface, hoping to capture something fresh and innovative.” - Rowan Harrison
