| Rhett lives and works in Alameda, New Mexico. In his thirty years as a professional artist, he has found expression in a variety of mediums, from hand-woven tapestries to sculpture, drawings, monotypes to paintings in oil and acrylic. He continues to experiment with various materials, always seeing a broader visual vocabulary, in order to bring more power, life, and intensity to his art. He has focused on a broad range of subject matter, depicted in realistic as well as abstract manner; from the human form to animals, landscapes, icons, archetypes, myth, and legend - subjects whimsical to mystical. Rhett refers to his work as a visual journal, recording his experiences as a tourist of life. He draws from the well of his Indigenous heritage and his work is a testament to the deeply powerful symbols found there; images conveying a universal message which crosses all cultural boundaries. Although varying greatly in medium and subject matter, all of Rhett's work contains a common thread: intensity of color and multifaceted intent. His paintings are deeply personal, complex and moving, sometimes disturbingly so, providing an interactive experience provoking thought, evoking emotion, and leaving a lasting imprint on the psyche. Rhett's work, which has appreciated consistently in value over three decades, attracts a broad range of collectors, veteran as well as neophyte, from entertainment and political personalities, to church parishes and corporations such as CNN. |
