Wise Investment In Native American Art
http://www.wiliunton.com
William E. "Billy" Varnell is a member of the Western Cherokee Tribe and is listed in the "Biographical Directory of Native American Painters". William became fascinated with art as a child sketching Native Cherokee pictures on anything available at the moment. An elder artist noticed his ability and became a mentor by providing him paints and canvas. All that Billy needed was a little encouragement; the talent was there. Mr. Varnell has done personal studies of primitive Indian artwork including cave wall paintings in North America. The valuable theme he acquired within this investigation has been the honoring and revitalization of the spirit and the message of the artist. In June of 2004 he received Honorable Mention at the Trail of Tears Competition with "SCALP DANCE" at the 33rd annual Trail of Tears show. William Varnell has been participating in this competition since 1983. Being placed in with the company of renowned artists such as Talmadge Davis, Murv Jacob, Lena Blackbird, Joan Hill, Benjamin Harjo, Virginia Stroud, Bill Glass, K Henderson and many others. William's focus is authentic, primitive native art and his work is recognized around world. His grandfather, a storyteller in his tribe has been a major influence in his art. When any Native American or educated historian looks at a piece of Mr. Varnell's artwork it literally tells them a story. http://www.wiliunton.com |
