“I grew up in Shishmaref, Alaska. I learned my artwork in High Shcool. My teacher is John Sinnok. My materials that I use is ivory. I studied art at the University of Alaska - Fairbanks. I combine my traditional and non-traditional designs into my artwork. I have been working on art work for the past 25 years. I enjoy creating new works of art and putting these ideas to my work.” - Tony Weyiouanna Jr.
