Jason Parrish

Jason Parrish

Jason Parrish is an artist from the Navajo Nation. In the Navajo clan family, he is Dzil T’aanii (Near the Mountain People) and born for To’dichii’nii (Bitter Water People). Parrish’s birthplace is Gallup, NM to Winona Bitsie and the late Joe F. Parrish. He has one younger brother, Joshua. Parrish is a painter who mainly works with water-based paints.  Raised on the Navajo Nation in Tohatchi, NM, Parrish was surrounded with Native art throughout his life. After graduating from Gallup High School in 2003, Parrish went to the University of New Mexico and studied History until 2007. After finishing college, Parrish worked in finance at a bank in Gallup, NM until he realized it wasn’t what he wanted to do. So, he left his job in banking and pursued a career as a full-time professional artist. His art is characterized by vibrant colors, immaculate brushwork, and is now categorized as just outside the boundary of Native American Traditional Painting Style. The style often referred to as Native American Traditional was pioneered by Native American students of the Dorothy Dunn School in 1930’s Santa Fe. Parrish says he was inspired by Navajo artists Harrison Begay, Quincy Tahoma, Robert Chee, and Gerald Nailor, all early masters of the style.
