Key works include “Among the Golden Ones,” a radiant portrait of a Red Willow woman from Taos nestled among glowing aspens—evoking pride, longing, and connection to the land—and “Tyler’s Song,” a bold, graphic composition inspired by early Santa Fe artist Gerald Cassidy, featuring a Diné flute player whose spirit is represented by a hummingbird.

“I grew up visiting the reservations with my parents every summer,” Pro shares. “My mother sold Native jewelry and textiles, and my father, an aspiring Western artist, would be in search for models and inspiration among the mesas of Arizona and New Mexico. Those memories of Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly, and Taos shaped me. This show is my way of giving back.”

Known for his painterly realism, Tony Pro’s style has evolved toward bold composition and intensified color, reflecting his shift from French naturalism toward the American West’s visual legacy—drawing inspiration from Maynard Dixon, W.R. Leigh, and the Taos Six. This show marks a turning point for Pro, merging tradition with modern storytelling in works that echo both personal memory and cultural homage.
