    I am extremely honored and bestowed to continue this rich tradition. I have been interested in the art since I was young and have been self-taught artist in pencil, charcoal drawing, acrylic paintings on leather and violin making.
    The past 10 years(2012) I have been making the traditional Apache violin. This has been past down to me by my late grandfather Salton Reede Sr.
