Featured artist is California artist Paul Nzalamba. Raised in Uganda, East Africa, Paul Nzalamba was exposed to art as a young child, watching his mother design and construct baskets, floor mats, and room dividers. He began drawing when he was nine, and by the time he was in high school, he was selling his paintings. Paul graduated with Distinction in Art and went on to refine his skills in college, learning batik, a wax resist fabric dying technique, from Katongole Wasswa, one of East Africa's most respected batik masters. http://www.nzalamba-artworks.com 323-255-9000

Outstanding Emerging Artist winner goes to Ray Goodluck

Ray Goodluck, the "Outstanding Emerging Artist" winner, draws his inspiration from animals he grew up around and from his ancestors. From Ray - "Yah ah teeh. That is greetings in my Native language. I am from the Navajo Nation. My clan is the 'Mud People' and born for the 'One who walks around one'.

Before painting, Ray was an iron worker out of Local 40 in New York City, where he was the first and only Navajo. In April 2019, Ray was working on the new Raiders stadium in Las Vegas, when he was injured on the job site. This injury led to him becoming wheel chair bound, stuck at home frustrated, and having nothing to do but watch TV. In May of the same year his girlfriend saw this frustration and left out a painting set she had got him at Christmas. She hoped it would give him something to focus his time on and ease his frustration while in rehab.

It worked. From this point on, Ray has spent all of his time painting and focusing his attention on making great pieces of art. Ray's work has already been featured in the "Native American Art" magazine, as well as, a three page feature in "Western Art Collector".
