 Sean Levon Nash
Sean has living, creating and teaching in San Francisco’s Mission District for the last 10 years. Born in Oakland, he spent much of his youth between East Oakland, Indiana, and Iowa. Of Choctaw, Muskogee Creek, Brulé and Comanche descent, his frequent relocation has afforded him a unique view of current America and it’s effects on mixed Indians. Sean’s interest in pre Columbian linguistics and meso-american glyph decipherment began at UC Davis while studying Studio Art. He continues to apply his mastery of medium to create educational and historically relevant paintings through which he successfully contextualizes ancient indigenous iconography. Currently, he is studying at San Francisco Art Institute, working on a Masters of Fine Art in Painting and Film.
Sean gives lectures, assemblies and workshops in a number of subjects, including
History, Chicano Studies, and Native American Studies, specializing in colonial
history and Indian-White relations. He makes paintings in a range of Native
styles, including Northwest Coastal, Southwest, Aztec, Mixtec and Mayan,
spanning the West coast. Having stumbled into animation and now film making, he was honored to have his first animated short get recognition at Sundance and other film festivals. |
