David-Alexander Hubbard Sloan is a member of the Diné (Navajo) tribe. Bringing contemporary graphic styles into painting, printmaking, digital design as well as jewelry, David aims to learn about, honor, and remember the language and culture of his mother’s indigenous family; language and culture that was suppressed throughout the 20th century. “I make art for many reasons, sometimes because I paint a funny cartoon sheep because my family used to be sheepherders, sometimes a coal mine or nuclear facility to examine the military, resource extraction, and financial industrial complexes we are all enslaved to.” David received his BA in 2D Studio Arts with a minor in Environmental Science from the University of Arizona in 2003. He has worked as a self-employed artist since 2009. He helped establish Santa Fe Community Screen Printing in 2018 and has been a Board Member for the Santa Fe Indian Center since 2017.
In Service of ARTists
Vital Spaces supports local, emerging & BIPOC artists and is inclusive of artists of all ages, religious beliefs, sexual orientations, and countries of origin. By providing affordable space, we provide venues for artists who might not otherwise know one another to come together in community and collaboration. We work to share this collaborative energy with the broader Santa Fe public through our programming.
