Kevin Horace Quannie
Kevin has received many awards and has established himself as a quality artist. He specializes in carving contemporary Kachina dolls using cottonwood roots, he then takes artwork one step beyond traditional methods by transforming some of his artwork into bronze sculptures that capture all the beauty and textures of the natural cottonwood grains from the original carving. Feathers, originally woodburned one by one, glisten in gold and amber in his bronze sculptures. In the last few years, Kevin has taken his carvings from the wax part of the Bronzes and transforms the images to another field, that of Blown Glass images.
Kevin also paints on canvas with a concept of traditional images to contemporary, the last 17 years of his 32 year career as an Artist, he believes, “The paintings have taken a new direction all by its self.”
