Burgess Roye is a well-known Ponca (American Indian) artist.  He was born in Pawnee, Oklahoma, moved to Western Colorado in 1980, where he lived in Grand Junction until his recent move back to Oklahoma.

“I was taught the symbolism regarding my culture from my grandparents.  My art reflects this and enables me to be comfortable about being and Indian in a modern world”
