Driven by a passion for Native Culture stories, legends and mythology, nationally recognized fine art carver, Keoni, re-imagines wood as woven and beaded basketry.  Using sharpened steel, fire, inks and organic dyes, he works entirely freehand to create story-driven artwork illusions with Sugar Maple as his canvas.

Keoni is among only a few artists excelling in these unusual techniques, which bring to life distant memories, honored heritage and a reverence for shared tribal history. Don’t miss your opportunity to experience these touchable, story-driven carvings at the upcoming Cheesman Park Art Fest!
