Artist Statement:
This is a portrait of Kalen C. Anderson (Nansemond). His is the son of a chief (Chief Keith F. Anderson, Nansemond Indian Nation) and is wearing what a warrior might look like, with his painted face, and replica regalia of the 1700’s-1800’s. The hair style is a practical one, shaving the sides of your head, leaving only the top hair to grow, allows a warrior to drawback an arrow without the pain of pulling out his hair and possibly missing his target.
