My borrowed name is Arthur Menchego. My name given to me at birth is "Ka Whe Tewa" which means "where there is snow".

I was born on February 10, 1950 at Tamaya (Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico) into the White Cloud Eagle Clan (Bald Eagle). This the Great Mystery knows.

The American Indian, their culture, their way of life has brought many studied and experienced artists from all over the world to paint them. They come to research, to observe, to live, and hopefully to capture the essence of the indian mystique.

Art Menchego has been part of that mystique all his life. No amount of research can equal the experience of being born on a pueblo reservation.

Art is now sharing his paintings with the world. From contemporary art to Indian and southwest themes, portraits, to strong Indian figures with animals and birds which joins them on canvas. This alliance between man and wildlife, the powers of the eagle, bear, with which each lending dignity and courage, and each deriving the same from the other. Art has won numerous prestigious show awards at Santa Fe Indian Market, Gallup Intertribal Ceremonial, Red Earth and the Eight Northern Pueblo Arts and Crafts show.

He is recognized as one of New Mexico's leading Native American artists. His work includes oil paintings, transparant watercolors and pencil drawings.
