The Gallery at the Palms
Join The Gallery at The Palms for a unique never before seen collection of Armand Frederick Vallée original drawings and a limited number of original paintings complemented with Native American Indian sand paintings and vintage pottery presented March 14 - April 26, 2026.
This unique collection of drawings represents Native American Indian Elders drawn from life itself. Vallée’s time on the Hopi and Zuni reservations in Arizona gave rise to intense research on the ancient religions of North American Indians. Vallee’s painting series “The Religion and Mythology of the North American Indian pursued extensive research and sketches were made on this subject before the actual painting began.
The kind cooperation and understanding of native elders, tribal leaders and groups from reservations across the United States and Canada made it possible to collect, to separate and evaluate the hundreds of stories, the mythological legends and the old religious beliefs. The series was painted true to the spoken native word. Seen through the eye of a white painter, meaning no disrespect to the native way of symbols and sand painting.
The paintings are a powerful representation of cultural native beliefs, of religious wealth and spiritual freedom. The work was created in the spirit of friendship and respect to further better understanding between man. Painted between 1979-1983…” -- Betrice R. Vallée (wife of Armand Frederick Vallée) from The Art of Armand Frederick Vallée, January 1, 1993.
