Fred Begay’s art is of streamlined form and design. Using symbolism from the Southwest American Indian people, he creates an identity for each sculpture. Fred began with drawing, painting and jewelry of Navajo silver and turquoise. 

Currently, Fred is fabricating steel sculpture, primarily animals such as the bison, stallion, bear, and ram all of fetish heart and lifeline design. This inspiration evolved from the Pueblo; the fetish was to acknowledge the power and wisdom of that animal for healing and curing. The heart and lifeline symbolizing its breath and harmony. 

From the NAVAJO, Fred turned to the sand painting: originally for healing. There are many stories that include the "Yei" that symbolizes the man and woman.

Fred's sculptures have been of the "Protection" series, and meant for your home, both indoors and out.

Fred is an award-winning artist; invitations to participate in juried art shows throughout the Southwest is a testament to his skill, signature style and artistry.
