A member of the Cherokee Nation, Tony Two Feather Weldon (b. 1959) devotes his artistic practice to chronicling Native American heritage. His detailed portraits and landscapes emerge through a distinctive combination of acrylic paint and graphite pencil, employing impressionistic color techniques to illuminate indigenous life, traditions, and connections to the natural world. Each piece stems from thorough historical research into tribal customs, clothing, and cultural practices. His dedication to preserving Native American narratives has led to significant recognition - his work now resides in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, the Booth Western Art Museum, and the Chickasaw Nation Cultural Center. Beyond his role as an artist, Weldon considers himself a historian, creating visual records that educate viewers about indigenous cultures while ensuring these essential stories endure for coming generations.
