Description
In his vibrant color palette award-winning style, Jemez Pueblo artist George Toya shares this highly detailed framed acrylic painting featuring a bold Sunface at the center with layers of traditional and meaningful elements.
Utilizing everything from quill pens to watercolor brushes to his fingers as tools, Toya says, “I draw and paint because it is a part of my life that is essential for existence. When a piece is going well, time seems to have no meaning and everything else, no matter how important, doesn’t really matter. Energy is flowing and total contentment is achieved."

Our Guarantee of Authenticity
At the Indian Pueblo Store we guarantee that your purchase is an original and authentic work handcrafted by Native American artists as defined by the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990. We ask our artists to complete an extensive certification process, providing a CIB (Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood) card and other documentation of their Native American heritage. Our team of experts carefully inspects every product to guarantee it is handcrafted using traditional, sustainable processes and natural materials of only the highest quality. We record the place and date of each purchase and pride ourselves in paying a fair price that allows artists to make a living practicing their craft. At a time when many commercially-made products are being sold as handcrafted Native American art, our in-depth purchase process allows us to guarantee the authenticity of every unique piece of fine art we offer. For more than 35 years, we have made it a priority to visit artists in their studio or home to purchase their latest handcrafted pieces and learn about their work. We have developed lasting relationships with artists, as well as dealers and collectors, and we take pride in being a trusted destination for fine Native American art.
