Raven Skyriver

Born in 1982, Raven Skyriver (Tlingit) was raised in the San Juan Islands. When he was sixteen, Raven was introduced to glass by his family friend and mentor, Lark Dalton. Exploring every opportunity to work in glass led to Raven being invited to work with Karen Willenbrink-Johnsen for the William Morris team in 2003. This was his introduction to sculptural glass, and where building a vocabulary for narrative in his work began. In 2018, Skyriver returned to the island where he was born; he and his wife Kelly O'Dell constructed a home studio where they create their art.
