Anthony Puhuyesva

Anthony Puhuyesva is a Hopi Military Veteran Artist from the Village of Kykotsmovi on the Hopi Reservation in Northeastern Arizona. Anthony always had a love for art. Much of his art is inspired by his love for his culture and his family. Anthony joined the military right after high school and did two tours in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Upon being honorably discharged from the US Army, Anthony got back into art to help with transitioning back into civilian life. He later went to school for graphic design and now primarily does this type of graphic design, but still works in other mediums as well. Not only does art still help him with trauma from war, but Anthony continues to do his art in hopes of bringing happiness and even just a smile to others when days seem hard.
