Take a moment to review the origins of Haitian Art before you go on to view the gallery. In addition to the Haitian collection, we are proud to present Contemporary Southwest Art, original Native American Imagery by Lawrence W. Lee and Mary Wyant. These internationally known painters create hauntingly beautiful images of native American people and landscapes. A number of prints (posters) are available of these works.![]()
