As a part of the initial class of the Institute of American Indian Arts (Santa Fe, NM) during the early sixties, King Kuka maintains a critical place in the definition and evolution of contemporary Indian art.  He is known for ethereal impressionist works, as well as contemporary embossed pictographs.  In addition to his accomplishments as a painter, he is also a published poet.  His works are included in such noted museum collections as the Deutches Museum (Munich, Germany), and The Vatican (Rome, Italy).

The Gallery has several watercolors and kukagraphs (oil on embossed cotton paper).
