Raven with Moon
by Yukie Adams

7" x 7" Black mat, black wooden frame

Yukie Adams

In 1984 artist Yukie Adams married Henry Adams. Henry was an Alaskan Tlingit tribal citizen. When Yukie married him she became a part of his Tlingit culture. Yukie naturally became interested in the native art of the Northwest Coast. Yukie studied and with her newly acquired knowledge, she began creating contemporary Northwest Coast Native designs. Yukie put her designs on drums, paintings, serigraphs, and prints. After her husband passed away, she began to take her work to a new level. Yukie started to create woodcarvings and mixed media. This combination of modernism and traditionalism is unique to her works of art.

Raven

The Raven is the most important being in the Northwest Coast art and mythology. In stories, Raven is intelligent, curious, innovative and resourceful, yet selfish, greedy, deceitful and mischievous. He always follows his appetite, and consequently is often in trouble: in fact, that is when he does some of his best creative work. Among many other achievements, Raven determined the order of things in the world, as we know it; secured the blessings of Fire, water, Sun, Moon, stars; and discovered humankind and all other creatures. He is the original organizer. He is also known to be a relentless schemer and practical joker, lustful, impulsive, and cunning.
