One of the only depictions of a Kokopelli, a fertility deity, that Joe Cantrell has found in the Gorge. The image also shows a Shadow Bird, on the basalt panel to the left of the two figures over the broken terrain, or possibly water. The image is only visible when the light is a certain way. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cherokee photographer Joe Martin Cantrell uses his personal depth of perspective in combination with sophisticated techniques to make visible the things that often go unseen. After two tours as a Navy officer in Vietnam, Cantrell worked as a photojournalist for UPI, Black Star, Time, Newsweek, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and hundreds of other publications worldwide. He has taught at Oregon School of Arts and Crafts, Pacific Northwest College of Art, Mount Hood Community College, and was Artist in Residence at Crow\u2019s Shadow Institute. Cantrell carries the name of an ancestor who died on the Trail of Tears and offers his own meaningful legacy through generous contributions to benefit humanitarian causes and the arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cantrell was one of over 40 creatives of the Pacific Northwest profiles in All Classical Radio\u2019s Artist Anthology. Learn more about Joe Cantrell and the Artist Anthology at anthology.allclassical.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
