A self-taught artist in several mediums who became known for stippling, Leonard Chana captured the essence of the Tohono Oodham people. He incorporated subtle details of Oodham life into his art, and his images evoke the smells, sounds, textures, and tastes of the Sonoran desert, ll the while depicting the values of his people. He began his career by creating cards and soon was lending his art to posters and logos for many community-based Native organizations. Winning recognition from these groups, his work was soon actively sought by them. Chana's work also appears on the covers and as interior art in a number of books on southwestern and American Indian topics. The Sweet Smell of Home is an autobiographical work, written in Chana's own voice that unfolds through oral history interviews with anthropologist Susan Lobo. Chana imparts the story of his upbringing and starting down the path toward a career as an artist. Balancing humor with a keen eye for cultural detail, he tells us about life both on and off the reservation.Eighty pieces of art?26 in colorgrace the text, and Chana explains both the impetus for and the evolution of each piece.
