CheyenneJim

Cheyenne(Diane Lynn) Jim is a full blooded Native American Indian born in 1957 into theNavajo Nation. Cheyenne was raised with a rich Navajo cultural tradition. Atthe age of six, she accompanied her grandmother, who is a “medicine woman”, toa Ye’II bi Cheii ceremony (a nine night winter ceremony of the Navajo People,where dozens of deities are presented each night wearing masks). This made agreat impact on the young Cheyenne.

DespiteCheyenne’s cultural influence, her sculptures do not reflect Navajo or Indiantraditions. For instance, her recent masks and clay sculptures possess partialcubism (Pablo Picasso), another strong influence from her college years atBacone, where she studied art. Cheyenne attended College at Bacone College inMuskogee, OK. Cubism absolutely fascinated her. For years it stayed in hermind, but she wasn’t confident enough to incorporate it into her work untilrecently. She is a self-taught artisan from observation. Her schooling did notalter her initial influence from her grandmother (Aasdzaan Doo’al hoshii),whose knowledge on Navajo healing ceremonies and herbology gave her prominentstatus among her people. She tried not to be analytical on pottery, but that’swhat it boiled down to. Eventually, Cheyenne took what she thought were thebest techniques to construct her masterpieces, but finding the right clay towork with was tough, that’s where she ran into a lot of difficulty. Although,she works predominately with mica clay, her subjects and themes are varied.Cheyenne’s unique style of art is far from traditional. She is not, nor doesshe want to be limited by tradition. She was quoted as saying: “A true artisthas no tradition to follow, only the freedom to create and be innovative.” Allof Cheyenne’s art is handmade and hand painted from start to finish. She signsher art as: Cheyenne Jim.
