Institute of American Indian Arts

Brent Greenwood

While at Oklahoma City University on an art scholarship, a dream was forming in Brent's mind: attending the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Once he entered, he learned a variety of skills like beading, graffiti art, painting ... and now uses those different mediums and styles to create stories of Chickasaw heritage in art.
