HEARD MUSEUM - HOLIDAYS AT THE HEARD
Heard Museum - Holidays at the Heard - Phoenix, AZ
For the past 3 Years, the Heard Museum has invited me to be a featured artist at their “Holidays at the Heard” event that takes place just after Christmas. I look forward to it each year. Every artist has been locked down throughout the pandemic with the majority of art shows or events being cancelled, this was refreshing. It was great to connect with people, share the Tlingit art form, and put some of my work on display. Thank you to everyone who came by, and thank you to the Heard Museum for the opportunity!

Setup - Heard Museum
Eagle Headdress - Red Cedar
Raven - Yellow Cedar
Every show I do, I make a point to bring my carving kit, and do some live carving throughout. I think it’s important to show the process involved in creating an art piece, starting from a block of wood, and sculpting it into a form. This is a Raven that will sit on top of a dance staff I’m currently working on.
