A bit about me...

Good day. My name is Shawn Hayes and I am of Inupiaq/European heritage.  I have always felt much closer to my Inuit roots being here in Alaska for most of my life.  I have always worked with my creative side doing a wide variety of artistic endeavors starting very young in life.  I even used to do beadwork while sitting in classes in high school. This trend has followed me all through my life and while I have flowed and adopted many media, I still love my cultural foundations.  Many of my works will have this underlying thread in them.  Currently I am mostly working in Antler, fur, and resins; however, you may find occasional glass and other art here as well.  I also often explore the other side of my spiritual blends with the alternative energies of runes, herbs, and stones.  I have always had a wide array of interests and these usually show up in my workings at some point in time.  I hope you find something to enjoy and that speaks to you  here.  Taikuu (Thank you)
