Biography:
Nocona Burgess, a member of the Comanche Nation of Oklahoma and descendant of Chief Quanah Parker, is a nationally and internationally recognized Native artist known for his bold, modern portraits of Indigenous people from across North America. His work blends historical research with personal heritage, using vivid color and traditional symbolism to honor Native identity while challenging outdated perceptions. With a BFA from the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma and a Master’s in Art Education from the University of New Mexico, Burgess has exhibited widely—including at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian—and continues to bridge past and present through contemporary Native art.
