Sheldon Harvey
Painter, carver, creator of mystical images, Sheldon Harvey is a member of the Red Running Into Water Clan of the Diné (Navajo). Although he was trained as a medicine man by his grandfather and great-grandfather; Sheldon always wanted to be an artist. As a young man he attended Diné College, and has worked with Diné artists Don Whitesinger and Tony Abeyta. Sheldon paints in both acrylics and oils on canvas, creating images that are sometimes representational, sometimes symbolic and always imaginative. His Ye’i figures, carved in wood and decorated with paints, macaw feathers, horsehair, canvas and yucca are among his most creative works. Many are based on the traditional Diné creation stories, and are his own interpretation of what he has heard and read.
At the 2008 Santa Fe Indian Market Sheldon's sculpture "Twins" won Best of Classification, while his painting "Trixter Way" won Best of Classification and Best of Show, the first time anyone can remember a triple win.
