Patrick Swazo Hinds was a painter from the Tesuque Pueblo in New Mexico.  He was adopted at the age of 9 by a California family and grew up off the reservation but returned every summer to Tesuque.   As a result of living in two worlds, Swazo does painting that reflects a combination of the traditional with a more modern style and combins his Native American inheritance by birth with education and exposure to a wide variety of non-Indian artists and their work.
