After reading Black Elk Speaks, by John G. Neihardt, the artist became immersed in the importance of rendering dignity to the Native Americans, a people who suffered great injustice during the settlement of the west. His newest series includes small bronze busts of Wounded Warrior, Arapaho Indians and Chief Red Cloud.
