Boney Work Named Best in Trail of Tears Art
Show
“Our
Father,” a pen-and-ink drawing by Roy Boney, Jr., was named Grand
Prize winner
of the Trail of Tears Art Show, sponsored by the Cherokee
Nation
Heritage
Center at Park Hill, Oklahoma.
Boney, a
citizen of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, is a graduate student in
the UALR Art Department
and holds the Prairie Band Potawatomi
Nation Fellowship in the Sequoyah
Research
Center.
Boney combines
wit and artistic talent in the two works he entered in the
show—“Cherokee
Nation vs Georgia,”
a painting, and the award winning “Our Father,” a portrait
of Andrew Jackson.
The
prestigious Trail of Tears Show attracts American Indian Artists and
art
enthusiasts from all over the nation.
Now in its thirty-fifth year, the show runs from
April 29 to May
28. For more information about it, visit
