When asked what drew Zuni artist Nelson Yatsattie to start carving, he said that "It was just another way of drawing. Me and Brian (Brian Yatsattie, brother), We like art; we like to draw, we like to paint. I was always in art class." He said making art "It just takes everything out of your mind, when you get into your work. You put everything into it - you leave all the negativity out, and you put all the positivity in - your whole soul." Nelson's passion for art is evidenced in a quick Lizard sculpted from ricolite. Observant eyes are from turquoise inlays. We love this reptile's long tail flowing tail. About 3 3/4" long, 1 5/8" wide and 7/8" tall.
