Floyd Becenti Sr. passed on a marvelous legacy to his sons, Floyd, Jr., Lloyd, and Robert and daughter Eloise -- he taught them the distinctive overlay style he’d learned indirectly from Hopi artists who began using it in earnest after World War II. His sons have improved on this style over the years by adding a great deal more detail to each piece they make as well as refining both the story themes and the appearance of the story elements. Their work is on permanent display at the internationally famous Heard Museum in Phoenix, and you will find their work in prestigious southwestern galleries as well as all the current collectors' guides.
