Stan Padilla
Stan Padilla is a multi-media artist who’s disciplines include drawing, painting, and silversmithing. Stan is also an educator and social activist who for many years has worked to promote multi-cultural and cross-cultural exchange between people. He is currently an arts coordinator for a Chicano and Native American gallery in Northern California.

Stan shared the following about this work of art:
Storytelling, through art, connects us to an 100,000 year old tradition which is basic to the human experience. This painting speaks to us about a primary connection to wisdom realities far greater than ourselves, the descent of that wisdom through ethnic lineage and the universal patterning of culture. It is a part of a series entitled Element Earth.
