ABOUT THE ART

Becky Olvera Schultz specializes in unique clay and mixed media masks inspired by the indigenous peoples of the Americas. Her pieces are formed from clay, fired, painted, then adorned with real horse hair, natural domestic bird feathers, bison hair, horn and jewelry she makes from turquoise, bone, shell, brass, and leather. Even when producing editions, no two pieces are ever exactly alike. Each piece is individually detailed and hand painted. She also creates rawhide shields, dolls, 2D work such as photography/digital and serigraphs as well as wall and free standing sculpture. All her masks are her original work and hand formed, not made from castings taken off someone's face.

"I have directed my consuming interest in the native peoples of the Americas into my own personal art expression. I derive immense satisfaction from putting life into the materials I work with. My art is an extension of my spirit, a piece of my personal vision and a constant source of comfort and healing for me."
