Born in Gallup, NM and raised on the Navajo reservation, Alan Charlee had an early interest in art that was well expressed throughout his childhood drawings.  After his graduation at Crownpoint High School, he moved on to Central New Mexico Community College, where he obtained his degrees in Computer Animation and Fine Arts.  Now he does oil paintings, often devoted to the scenes that defined the land and people who defined his upbringing.
