Tease photo

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. - Navajo painter Jeremy Singer recently had his work on display at Mountain Oasis in Flagstaff. "I chose to paint my point of view," he said. "I chose images of my family who happen to be Navajo. I don't want to be labeled a Native artist. It's a struggle to be a Native artist because we get lumped in that category and it's hard to work our way out of that label."
