Of Cherokee descent, Weldon’s passion for his family heritage led him to begin drawing Native Americans. His works, based upon historical research, are highly developed in terms of technique, but also tell a story and convey emotions. One of Tony’s drawings is part of Booth Museum’s permanent collection, while another was recently accepted into the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian. This exhibition recognized the Cherokee heritage that links the West with the Southeast.
