Burke and Vivian are accomplished artists who live in White Cone, AZ. Burke was born in Ft. Defiance, AZ and was raised in Canyon de Chelly. He began painting at the age of eight and through his intricate paintings, tells stories from the Navajo tradition and the ancient ones who inhabited his homeland long before his people. Vivian Burbank, born in Jeddito, AZ, is a member of the Navajo and Tiwa tribes and is known for beautiful beadwork jewelry.
In addition to interactions with the church, Burke will be creating a new piece of art for our permanent collection.
