Nocona is a Comanche Indian from Lawton Oklahoma. He is the great-great grandson of Chief Quanah Parker and his father is the former chief of the Comanche tribe. He has traveled throughout his life and was given the opportunity to see and experience much of the country and all the different kinds of people. He has always been around art as he comes from a family of artists of many types. He felt he had no choice but to pursue art. It was in his blood.

He decided to move to New Mexico, where he attended the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) in Santa Fe.

He has shown in many countries, such as Holland, Belgium and Germany.

Today Noconas work can be found on the cover of Sante Fean Aug 2006.

His newest pieces are so overflowing a unique perspective individual to Nocona's work. You can find these pieces in RARE Gallery.
