A colorful landscape rendering from what appears to be a viewpoint from atop a small hill overlooking a valley of agricultural land dotted with trees. The other side of the valley hills extend into the distance. A group of black birds fly across the bottom of the viewpoint hill., Peter S. Quaempts, Tutuilla #2 (Dusk); oil on canvas; 33 X 33 inches; Employment Pendelton, Peter S. Quaempts was enrolled Yakama Tribe, but born, raised and died in the same family home in Gibbon, Oregon on the Umatilla Reservation. Son of William (Yakama) and Annie (Hall) Quaempts (Cayuse, Walla Walla, Umatilla), his Indian name was Tiichum Nashat, which translates as "earth thunder," or "like a loud noise [as] from lightening hitting the earth." In February of 1994, at the age of 56, Quaempts died at the family home located in the mountains. His artistry reflects his environment: the landscape in his drawing "Evening Winds" is similar to the landscape behind the house. "My father was very private; [he] did not show his works. He created something every single day of his life, whether with his hands [by] writing, drawing, painting or sculpting...[he was] a True Artist. His philosophy was art was very individual. He would ask you 'what does it mean to you?' He knew what it meant to him. He also said, 'Culture is the knowledge of the implication of symbols,' and would depict many symbols in his art work that a person wouldn't understand unless you were a part of that Indian culture or had some identity to that." He lectured and taught art for many years. He graduated from the University of Oregon with a Bachelor of Arts, Seattle University with a Masters in Fine Arts, and taught at Eastern Oregon University in La Grande and Blue Mountain Community College in Pendleton, Oregon. "He was the father of four children and the greatest artist in the world."
