## About

I am Bobby Mercier, a passionate traditional wood carver from the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde in Oregon. As one of only ten practicing traditional carvers in my community, I am deeply devoted to preserving the ancient techniques that have been handed down through countless generations. My dedication extends beyond wood carving; I have also ventured into the realm of digital art, discovering innovative ways to convey timeless themes through modern mediums. My artwork acts as a vital link between ancestral heritage and contemporary expression, creating pieces that honor Indigenous culture while sparking new conversations and inspiring others. Each of my carvings, whether crafted from wood or rendered digitally, carries a powerful narrative of resilience, identity, and an profound connection to the land and lineage that shapes my heritage. Through my art, I strive to keep these important stories alive, ensuring that the traditions of my people continue to influence and enrich the modern world. My journey as both a traditional and digital artist reflects a commitment to cultural preservation and innovation, bridging the past and present to foster understanding and appreciation for Indigenous heritage. Every piece I create is more than just an object; it is a testament to the enduring spirit of my community and a call to recognize the value of our rich cultural legacy. By blending traditional methods with contemporary tools, I aim to educate and engage broader audiences, making sure that the voices and stories of my people resonate powerfully in today’s world. This dual approach not only preserves age-old practices but also adapts them to meet the demands of a changing society, ensuring that our heritage remains relevant and impactful for future generations.
