An intimate portrait of Hopi Kachina Doll Carver Cory Ahownewa. Coming from a family of artists including the legendary jeweler Charles Loloma, Ahownewa began his artistic journey at the age of four. Since then, he has refined his craft of carving “traditional” Kachina dolls from cottonwood root and dyeing them with naturally occurring pigments. #ArizonaIllustrated #KachinaDoll #Carving #CoryAhownewa | Arizona Illustrated
