| Famous for elaborately inlaid antler figures. |
|
| Since leaving home for college, Troy's creativity has blossomed, resulting in new figures, new materials, new techniques--all with the meticulous attention to detail his work has always shown. Every piece he brings in is a new artistic triumph. Although he is just in his early 30s, Troy's work is already in the permanent collections of two museums. He is one of few living artists to have work featured on the cover of American Indian Art Magazine. |
