Brandon In-the-Woods

Brandon is from the Cheyenne River Reservation in South Dakota. He has family in the Owens Valley and it was on one of his trips to the valley, that he came into the gallery and we met.

Born in Provo, Utah, 1973, Brandon has carved in native cottonwood for over twenty years.

His work is primarily figurative with a subject focus on the historic ceremonial and spiritual aspects of mixed Native American cultural heritage that includes Sioux, Navajo and Paiute-Shoshone.
