$15,000

Yup’ik & Inupiaq artist Drew Michael started learning to carve at age 13, learning from archeologist Bob Shaw, printmaker Joe Senungetuk, and contemporary Athabascan mask-maker Kathleen Carlo. As Drew practiced his craft and developed his own style, he also studied the craftsmanship of works by master carvers and spent many hours comparing others works with his own designs and process, searching for his own niche. He applied research to his carvings, using trial & error to grow his work into what it is today. In 2012, Drew made the commitment to pursue art full time, and today his works can be found in the permanent collections of the Alaska State Museum, Anchorage Museum and the Sheldon Jackson Museum.

Drew focuses on how masks were originally used by Yup’ik people, for healing and telling stories of things unseen. Drew’s work incorporates healing practices of the Yup’ik people and religious icons of European Christianity. The artist hopes to encourage people to find healing in ways that bring about balance in much the same way he has used these practices to find balance in his own life.

This work from The Brown Family Collection is special in that it does not actually originate from the Pacific Northwest Coast. This particular artist, Kenojuak Ashevak, was born in the outpost camp of Ikirasaq on the southern coast of Baffin Island to a hunter, fur trader and respected shaman. In the late 1960s, Ashevak quickly began gaining recognition for her prints and has since become arguably the most renowned Inuit artist in the world, and for good reason; she insisted that what she drew what she found joyful and beautiful.

The theme of flight is a recurring motif in Inuit art, often representing a spiritual journey, freedom, transformation, or some form of enlightenment. In Inuit shamanic tradition, winged spirits and beings of the air play an important role. The shaman, who serves as healer, guide, and visionary within traditional nomadic hunting communities, acted as an intermediary between the physical, human world and the powerful forces of the spirit realm. The shaman and their helping spirits or animal guides were believed to assume the qualities of birds or other winged beings through their spiritual transformation.

As you explore our featured July Collection, The Brown Family Collection, you may notice a familiar figure appearing throughout the artwork: Frog!

A central being in Pacific Northwest Coast traditions, Frog is a powerful symbol of transformation, adaptability, and connection. Living between two worlds, water and land, Frog is revered for its ability to move between realms, carrying knowledge, wisdom, and power across both the natural and supernatural.

Often associated with copper and great wealth, Frog is also celebrated as a communicator and a voice for the people. In Northwest Coast art, Frog is frequently depicted with its tongue extended, symbolizing the exchange of knowledge, stories, and power.

Stonington Gallery is honored to present an extraordinary collection of Northwest Coast artworks, opening to the public tonight for PSQ First Thursday Art Walk from 5-8 pm.

Thoughtfully assembled over the course of a lifetime, this collection reflects decades of careful looking, meaningful encounters, and a deep appreciation for the artistry of the Indigenous Northwest Coast. The works brought together here remind us that collecting is rarely a purely academic pursuit.

We all find ourselves drawn to certain forms, stories, or artists without always knowing why. Over time, those instinctive connections become a collection’s defining character. What begins as admiration gradually becomes a visual record of curiosity, memory, and reverence.

We hope these works inspire the same sense of curiosity, wonder, and connection that first drew them into this collection, and we hope that you too can discover pieces that speak deeply to you.

On view now through August 1st!
REMINDER that our shifted hours for FIFA have us open 7 days a week until July 19th; M-F 10-5pm, and Sat-Sun 11-5pm.
We will be closed for the 4th.

This mask tells a story of infamous trickster figure, Coyote.

Stump, Coyote’s son, hunts two mountain goats in the mountains: an adult goat, which he carries home, and a yearling, which he leaves on the trail for his father. Though yearlings are not typically hunted,
Stump takes one as a sign of his own skill and as a test of his father’s pride. Coyote accepts the gift, briefly moved by gratitude, but his pack strap—secretly sabotaged by Stump—breaks again and again as Stump calls down increasingly heavy rains from the sky. Each time the goat tumbles farther down the mountainside, Coyote chases it deeper into a dangerous ravine, driven by shame and fear of being seen as a failed hunter. Eventually, the rain forms a river that carries Coyote away, and some say this is where the Trickster meets his end: defeated not only by his son’s trickery, but by his own pride, hunger, and inability to escape the failures that define him.
Full story can be found in the exhibit page linked in bio: https://stoningtongallery.com/exhibit/ed-archie-noisecat-solo-exhibit/

Also: TODAY in the main gallery space of Stonington Gallery from 2-4 PM, pop by and join us for a free carving demonstration with Shuswap/ St’at’imc artist Ed Archie NoiseCat!
