Gary Hummingbird is considered to be one of the foremost contemporary Indian painters devoted to the traditional flat style.  He is best known for paintings of Cherokee Little People, Mississippian mound-builder culture, and paintings of Indian dancers.  He has won the Cecil Dick Master of Heritage Award (for outstanding traditional painting) from the Five Civilized Tribes Museum for five consecutive years (and is the only artist to have accomplished this feat).  His works are included in private collections worldwide.  His works have been included in exhibits at the Five Civilized Tribes Museum (Muskogee, OK), the Bath House Cultural Center (Dallas, TX) and the Cherokee National Museum (Tahlequah, OK).

The Gallery has several paintings by Gary Hummingbird.
