Biography from Artistic Gallery:
| Navajo sculptor, Ricky Nez, is a young aspiring artist, whose goal is to bring Navajo stories to reality through his sculpture. In his early thirties, Nez is completely self-taught.
Once he has sketched his ideas, he then begins to chisel the stone by utilizing hand and power tools. After the figure has emerged, the tedious finishing process begins; meticulously sanding every part of the sculpture until it gleams like a jewel and is silky smooth to the touch.
