Sculptor John Doe creates wood carvings that build on his strong Inupiat tribal traditions as well as his interest in the changing world of today. In his work, John often uses contemporary ideas combines with strong traditional techniques. As a subsistence hunter, he collects the materials for his work from the land and the sea.
He started carving at age ten and spent many years learning under Master Carvers including Larry Aktavok and John Upik. His carvings have been featured in many exhibitions and festivals including the 1999 Inuit Art Festival in Ontario, Canada where he was awarded Best of Show. John lives in Arctic Town, Alaska with his family.
John's background and training included studying at Anytown University from 1965-69, taking a bachelor’s degree in pitchforking. John learned birch bark and willow root basketry with his grandmother, Mabel Smith, at age 10. After graduation, John studied the techniques of tar-root pitching and leaf-mache overembroidery with Twiney Todd and Aragon Forwich.
John now passes his knowledge by teaching in schools – he currently teaches weekly “Carving from Life” and “Beginning Wood Carving” classes at the Newport Visual Arts Center from 1 to 3 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays -- and taking on apprentices in his studio. He continues to explore new ways to share his cultural traditions.
