BIOGRAFIA DEL ARTISTA

Nailor was born in 1917 in Pinedale, New Mexico; his Navajo name is Toh Yah (Walking By the River). He enrolled in the Albuquerque Indian School from 1930 to 1934. After that he attended the Santa Fe Indian School, where he studied art under Dorothy Dunn from 1935 to 1937. After working under Dunn, Nailor spent a year studying with Kenneth Chapman and the Swedish muralist Olle Nordmark.

In 1937, with his good friend the artist Allan Houser, he set up a studio in Santa Fe to paint and work on his silkscreen prints.

With fellow-artist and classmate Harrison Begay, Nailor founded "Tewa Enterprises", an art publishing firm specializing in Native American art, especially that of the two founders. Tewa Enterprises became known for the high quality of their silkscreen prints.

Works by Nailor are held by the Arizona State Museum, UofA, California Academy of Sciences, Heard Museum, Museum of Indian Arts and Culture and many more.
