Lost & Found

Young Navajo woman places her hand on the lamb's back to reassure it of its immediate safety, as a lone coyote howls above.

Historically Navajo women's responsibility often was to care for the family's sheep.

Jerry Lee is especially well regarded for his depiction of campfires.

(Born 1944) Jerry Lee, a Navajo artist, was born at Wide Ruins on the Navajo Nation in northeastern Arizona. In 1964 won a first place award in the Scottsdale National Indian Art Exhibition. He later studied under Beatien Yazz.

Jerry Lee also signs his Navajo name "Hosteen Nez" to his artwork. His work is found in collections at the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona; the Wheelwright Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico and the Museum of Northern Arizona.
