Dustin provided the following
info:
“My name is Dustin
Holmes. I am member of the Hopi tribe. I am born for the Badger/Butterfly
clan. I am initiated to the Masaaw clan. I came into carving
mostly through self teaching. I picked up the traditional old
style carving technique as a carving style that I came to love.
I began carving around the age of 12, and have continued to carve
since. I have a God brother by the name of Makwesa Tsimoga who
I have looked up to. Brian and Emery Holmes Jr. are carvers who
are relatives of mine. I know other artists such as Raynard Lalo,
Bendrew Atokuku, Max Curley, Arthur Holmes Jr. and other artists
out there who I look to as mentors.”
