Arnold Aron Jacobs is an Iroquois artist raised within the traditional culture and language of the Onondaga nation. His work is an expression of his spirituality; his symbols are of the earth and sky - water, wind, thunder and sun. Other themes in his art depict the ancient ways of the Iroquois, their clans, their culture. These images range from contemporary graphics and realism to the mystical. All of his work reveals a constant searching for new means of expressing his deeply felt emotions and pride in his heritage.
