Based in Native American themes, his work shows a pride for his culture and a deep understanding of the inherent spirituality of the stone. He feels that the honesty and purity of this most basic material permits him to express himself from the heart and to express the spirit that Native people respect and revere as embodied in the stone. . His most recent commission, a larger than life sized depiction of Pope’ – a Tewa Indian leader – represents the State of New Mexico in the National Statuary Hall at the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. Other works are installed in public locations and in leading museums and in private collections. Clifford had training in Pietrasanta, Italy, the San Francisco Art Institute, and the Institute of American Indian Art. He has been an instructor for many years at SWSCA Carving Workshops.
