David Chethlahe Paladin Original Signed Shaman Art 

David Chethlahe Paladin [1926-1984] was born on the Navajo Reservation in 1926 at Canyon de Chelly, Arizona. While his style shifted and evolved drastically during his career, his themes remained simple and universal.  He celebrated life and spirituality in his work, as many Native American artists do, though his perspective was informed by a uniquely challenging early life.  His story seems mythological, and most certainly shaped his interest in using his art to celebrate creation, life, death, and rebirth
