Roger Broer, Lakota Artist
Roger Broer
Enrolled Member Oglala Lakota Nation


"I perceive my major strength as a 'no holds barred' approach to painting.

How a painting is accomplished is of little value when in retrospect
one observes the sense of spiritualism in the finished product."


Media
Monotype, painting (mixed media), drawing, sculpture

Awards
Over 35 awards in National Shows, including the
Northern Plains Tribal Arts Show,
Trail of Tears Show,
and the Red Cloud Show.
Most recently, Roger won Best of Category and Best of Division
at the Indian Art Northwest Show in Portland.

Exhibits and Collections
Roger has exhibited in 30 one man shows, over fifty group shows,
and has paintings in both national and international collections,
including the Department of Interior, Washington, D.C., and Pierre
Cardin, Paris, France.
