Dwayne Wilcox (b. 1975) was raised on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota and currently resides in Rapid City. He has been drawing since high school. Wilcox is a self-taught artist who has received guidance from other artists. He admits that it is hard to consider him 鈥渟elf-taught鈥 when he has learned so much from others and continues to learn every day. Wilcox鈥檚 鈥渓edger-style鈥 drawings and paintings reflect a contemporary way of life鈥攐ften depicting pow-wows, people preparing for dances, families spending time together and everyday scenes. This drawing is an example of the good humor and skill for caricature that Wilcox brings to his contemporary interpretation of traditional ledger art.
