In conjunction with the new and classic works of RC Gorman, the Nizhoni Gallery also features other acclaimed artists such as Martha Pettigrew, Robert Rivera, Amado Pena and Bev Doolittle along with Guilloume, Lawrence Vargas and Howard Terpning. Luxuriate in the vivid colors and stirring, awe-inspiring works that represent Southwest and Native American imagery at its finest with a tour of the RC Gorman/Nizhoni Gallery.
