“In every line, I hear the voices of those who shaped our land’s story.” — Don Astras
Rendered entirely in graphite, these portraits capture the intimacy of beaded regalia, weathered skin, and timeless strength. Inspired by Edward Curtis’ photography and a deep respect for Indigenous resilience, Echoes of Valor bridges past and present.
