(Tex Wounded Face, 57, Scottsdale, Arizona., formerly of Bismarck, North Dakota died July 22, 2012, in Scottsdale)
Tex Wounded Face reads the spirit of the stones as he creates sculptures reflecting the past, present and future of American Indians.
Wounded Face, who is of the Mandan and Hidatsa tribes, works at the Cathedral Marble and Granite, Inc. in White Town, south of Lebanon and west of Zionsville. It' s a job that not only provides money, but allows him to work with granite. He does custom installation of counter tops. He says granite is the hardest stone and requires expert techniques for artist work. The company lets him use room for a studio to continue his artistic work.
