Piece description from the artist
I live in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico, near the ancient Jemez Pueblo. This is a picture from one of the powwows the pueblo sponsored, when tribes from all over the country meet to compete in dances and drumming. Pueblo members live in two worlds, going to school and work in the modern world, while maintaining close ties to nature and the ancient ways and ceremonies.
Theodore Greer was born in Gallup, New Mexico, where his parents and grandparents ran trading posts on the Navajo and Zuni Indian reservations.
He studied photography and printmaking at San Francisco Art Institute and at the University of New Mexico. He has degrees in archeology and education, and has worked at innumerable jobs over the years. He has traveled and photographed throughout the western U.S., and in Mexico, South America and Europe. He has shown in Jemez Springs, Taos, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Seattle, Oakland and San Francisco.
He uses photography to share his vision of the natural world that forms the basis for all life on Earth. He is fortunate to live in the midst of nature, and hopes that through his photographs, others who may not be as fortunate can gain a positive mental and physical effect through his images. Currently he has hundreds of his photographs hanging in hospitals in the Albuquerque area, that provide a soothing, hopeful environment for both patients and healthcare providers alike.
