Gilbert Naseyowma, Hopi Pueblo Carver

Hopi Pueblo carver Gilbert Naseyowma (b. 1934) creates works that powerfully convey the authority and ceremonial presence of each Katsina figure. His carvings are remarkable examples of the form, reflecting a deep understanding of Katsina traditions that comes from within. Each piece carries added significance through his heritage: Naseyowma hails from a distinguished family of Hopi Pueblo carvers, and his work beautifully exemplifies the refinement and cultural integrity associated with that revered tradition.
