CURRENT EXHIBITS!
A Journey: The Art of Glory Tacheenie-Campoy opened to the public on March 3, 2012 in Amerind's Art Gallery. Glory Tacheenie-Campoy is Diné (Navajo). She was born on the Diné reservation and attended a U.S. government Indian boarding school in Arizona. Her family raised sheep and used the wool to weave rugs. When Glory was 7 years old, her mother taught her the art of weaving rugs. At school and university, she was introduced to painting, drawing, sculpting, printmaking, and performing arts. Glory’s work is inspired by her Diné worldview and formal art training. The artist enjoys experimenting with various media and techniques to create prints, paintings, mixed media art.
Glory’s work has appeared in various galleries and museums in the United States and abroad. She has shown in many galleries in her home town of Tucson, including Tohono Chul Park. Her artwork is held by several institutions, including the National Museum of the American Indian, the University of Colorado Boulder, the Gorman Museum, Purdue University, and the Southern Arizona Women’s Foundation.
Above is one of Tacheenie-Campoy's paintings that will be on exhibit -Turquoise Tangerine, acrylic diptych on canvas, 6' wide x 5' tall.
