Wright's Indian Art > Artist: Roland Brady (Navajo)

A remarkabley precise and innovative metalsmith from the Monument Valley area of the Navajo.

A matte finish on silver is a favorite of Roland's, often with an accent of 14 gold. His pieces are truly unique in design, since he lives far away from art shows and other influences. He can make traditional Pueblo cross, or dragonfly, necklaces as easily as distinctive pins that are abstractions of nature. There is always a traditional Navajo sense of balance and symmetry in his work.

A man of many talents, he also appears in films ("Into the West" on television, in June 2005) and conducts jeep tours.
