I am, the oral traditional Diné philosophical teachings, and the beauty
of the land I
live."

David Johns draws from his imagination and strong spiritual ties with
the Navajo culture to produce sensitive paintings of Native American people. The strength and beauty of his large-scale acrylic paintings
led to his commission to paint a mural, containing important scenes from
Native American History, on the domed ceiling of Concord Place in Phoenix. Johns earned a BFA from Northern Arizona University School of
Fine Arts and was awarded an honorary Doctorate from the university in 1997. His figurative paintings have been represented by Turquoise
Tortoise Gallery for over 30 years.
