RANDY BROKESHOULDER (NAVAJO/HOPI/ABSENTEE SHAWNEE)

“I’m Diné, Hopi and Absentee Shawnee. I work as a banker by day and artist by night. I’m a third-generation carver, who learned from my father Nick Brokeshoulder, and he learned from his grandfather, Guy Maktima. My carvings are all cottonwood root, all natural pigments, all done by hand. I use files, coping saws and pocket knives to carve them. I use all-natural accessories used to put dolls together such as natural cotton, leathers, feathers and horse hairs.”
