“I want you to be able to relate to the people that I have portrayed. Our customs and our spirituality are hard for the general public to relate to and understand, so I try to create a starting point.”
-Talmadge Davis
Talmadge began painting full-time in 1998, and his work won the Best of Show prize in the Tulsa Indian Art Festival a year later. In 2002, his acrylic painting The Headdress won the first prize in the Trail of Tears Art Show. In 2004, the artist was awarded the Cherokee Medal of Honor for bringing the Cherokee National heritage to the mainstream through his paintings.
Talmadge died from a heart attack in 2005 at age 43. His signed and numbered canvas giclees at MSB Art Gallery are highly collectible.
