SD Nelsonwas built-in Stephen D. Nelson (born Jan 25, 1950) at the United States Army Station Infirmary in Fort Knox, Kentucky. He is an American illustrator and author of many children's books including Black Elk's Vision, Gift Horse, The Star People and Buffalo Bird Girl. Nelson's piece of work has been praised as "stirring, inspirational, original and beautifully illustrated".[1] His books have received the American Indian Library Association – Honor Book Award 2016.;[ii] the Spur Award – Western Writers of America 2004, 2006 (Finalist Awards 2005, 2011, 2016);[three] the Notable Volume Award – American Library Association 2001, 2011,[4] and the Bluebonnet Primary Listing Award – Texas Library Clan 2011.[5]

Life and career [edit]

The artist has a various ethnic groundwork.[1] He is descended from Norse and American Indian heritage and is an enrolled fellow member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in the Dakotas with beginnings to the Sioux or Lakota people.[6] Nelson's female parent, Christine Rose Gipp, a quarter-blood Lakota Indian was bilingual in English language and Hunkpapa Lakota language. Considering his father, Thurston D. Nelson, was a career Army officeholder (164th Infantry Regiment, WWII-Guadalcanal, Korea, Germany, Vietnam), SD lived in many different places as a young boy including armed forces bases in Kentucky, Kansas and Federal republic of germany. His Lakota mother'southward ties to her home in western N Dakota brought them back to the Continuing Stone Sioux Reservation well-nigh every summer.[1] The Lakota people[7] of the Northern Plains are members of the Sioux, or the three allied tribes: the Lakota, the Dakota and Nakota.

It was on the Dakota prairies that Nelson developed his passion for landscapes, star-filled nights and traditional Lakota imagery—"I remember ane item summer dark…cricket vocal filled my ears. Then, shimmering overhead, the Northern Lights came dancing, stake green at first, so in ethereal robes of red and golden; spiraling ever upwards…colors vanishing, only to reappear. Although I was staring directly into the heavens, from the corner of my eye, I saw something.  The sacred something that Lakota people believe is within all things.  I was only a boy, merely I was seeing in a Wakan mode, in a sacred way."[ane]

SD graduated from Due north Loftier School in Fargo, ND (1968—Hall of Fame).  He earned his bachelor's degree in Art at Minnesota State University at Moorhead in 1972. During his undergraduate studies, Nelson attended talks given by both Russell Ways and Dennis Banks who spoke on the American Indian Move (AIM) and the reclaiming of American Indian heritage.[8] His early on influences were the French Impressionists and N.C. Wyeth who was known for his dramatic and realistic illustrations of classic stories and fables.

Nelson taught Art in the public schools in Wahpeton, Due north Dakota (1975–76).[nine] In 1976 he moved to Flagstaff, Arizona to teach Art at East Flagstaff Junior Loftier (1976–2003), now known as Mount Elden Middle Schoolhouse, at that place he met Alan Jim, a Navajo medicine homo and a Lakota Dominicus Dancer.  Alan Jim and another Lakota Sun Dancer, Dicky Arias, mentored Nelson in the do of traditional Lakota ways.

The author has lectured at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington DC and he was the keynote speaker for Read N Dakota 2010 (NDHC).[9] Nelson was chosen as the 1997 feature artist for the Inter-Tribal Ceremonial – Gallup, New Mexico and for the Night Visions exhibition in Flagstaff, Arizona. He is the President of Read at Home (readathome.org), a 501c3 non-profit literacy program for preschool Native American children that currently serves hundreds of children on the Navajo Nation, the Shoshone-Bannock Reservation[1] and the Gila River Indian Customs.

The artist paints with acrylics, which he brushes, sponges, splatters and sprays. His paintings offer a contemporary interpretation of traditional Lakota imagery. SD has painted extensively on beast skins and bone. He has crafted traditional rawhide drums, hand-stitched beads on leather and created ledger book drawings. Nelson's fluid manner and traditional Native American art combines bold design, color and texture into a visual celebration of life. The creative person has 2 adult daughters and lives in Flagstaff, Arizona.[ane]
