The Remarkable Larance Family

Recently, one of the artists we are proud to support at Indianica, Steve Wikviya Larance, was featured along with his family in the Fall 2010 issue of the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian magazine in an article titled "Shining Brightly".

As a team, Steve and his wife Marian, create  beautiful pieces of Hopi style tufa cast jewelry (see previous post describing the process), and their children Nizhoni, Cree and Shandien are all artists as well. Their oldest son, Nakotah, is a professional hoop dancer and performs as a principal character in the Cirque du Soleil production of Totem.

Stay tuned for an interview with Steve!
