CAL NEZ, Navajo/Diné, Graphic Designer
Cal Nez, Navajo, Tachiinii Clan born for the Tanaszanii Clan originally

person bridging the gap between cultures. He gives special thanks
to the support of his loving wife, Yolanda.

All of Cal's art is original art work. He believes if one

Cal left his homeland and traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah with
the approval of his grandparents and graduated from South High
