Hozhoni: A Navajo word meaning “oneness with the universe...
right feeling and right thinking in the world.”
Kathy Hozhoni
connected with the Indian culture at a very early age. Her parents collected Indian artifacts, and she spent her time growing up in the wilderness amongst the sagebrush and arrowheads. She was
particularly fascinated by Navajo sand paintings and the powerful symbolism they portrayed: prosperity, togetherness and healing harmony.
As an adult, Hozhoni took graduate courses in art from the University of Santa Cruz
and has taught art to gifted children for twenty five years. She never really considered picking up a brush to produce art professionally until 1994. Her incredible talent was instantly
recognized, and the first weekend she sold over 35 paintings.
Kathy's personal "Hozhoni" attitude is surely a significant contributing
factor to the power of her art. She states: "I can express this unique feeling of individual spirit and joy through my art and come alive when I paint."
Today, her very popular and very colorful contemporary acrylic paintings hang in
galleries in Nevada, California, Arizona, Kansas, and Florida. |
