Charlie Begay, Navajo Nation Artist

There is very little published information on Charlie Begay.  I have been unable to determine his age or where he lives.  He is a contemporary Diné of the Navajo Nation artist who is known to have been active in the last half of the 20th century.  His works were exhibited at the annual American Indian Art Exhibition at the Philbrook Art Center, Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the late 1970s.  He is represented in the collection of the Heritage Center Collection at the Red Cloud Indian School, Pine Ridge, South Dakota.

Charlie Begay’s painting style is quite like that of Harrison Begay in that his presentation of Native American life and flora and fauna of his nation.
