Kim Obrzut - United States

Art Brokerage: Kim Obrzut American Artist: Master artist Kim Obrzut first began producing her iconic Hopi maidens over twenty years ago. Originally working in the traditional scrape-and-smooth method that Hopi potters have used for thousands of years—including her own family ancestors—it wasn't long before she transitioned into bronze. Employing her degree in Fine Arts from Northern Arizona University, Kim's career soared alongside a body of work that seeks to preserve the traditions and culture of the Hopi. When asked about her process, Kim says, "I now think back to my childhood and being with my grandfather, and how he was persistent in quality and traditional accuracy in how he carved dolls. . . . These beliefs still influence me today." Kim has been featured in many national magazine articles and her works have been published in various books on Southwest Art. She has won numerous awards in Art and Sculpture shows across the United States in both Native and non-Native events. She has also had the privilege of being able to serve for two years on the Board of Directors for SWAIA, the organization that runs the Santa Fe Indian Market, the largest American Indian Art show in the United States.
