About the Artist | (Born circa 1952) A member of the Bear clan, this jeweler marks his jewelry with both his initials and with a bear paw. Marcus Coochiwikvia's Hopi heritage is easily revealed by this dedication to creating extraordinarily well designed overlay work in both gold and silver. Trained to make jewelry first by Glen Lucas, then Roy Talahaftewa and through his association with Hopicrafts, Marcus has routinely won Indian market competitions. Rightly, this metal artist is included in all books covering American Indian jewelry. |
