Sonya Kelliher-Combs (Iñupiaq/Athabascan) is a mixed-media visual artist whose family hails from the North Slope and Interior of Alaska. Her work focuses on the changing North and our relationship to nature and each other. Through visual art, community engagement, curation and advocacy, Sonya works to create opportunities to feature Indigenous voices and contemporary artwork that inform and encourage social action. Traditional women's work taught her to appreciate the intimacy of intergenerational knowledge and material histories. These experiences and skills allow Sonya to examine connections between Western and Indigenous cultures. Recent exhibitions include Arctic/Amazon, Powerplant Gallery, Toronto, Canada; Agency, Feminist Art and Power, Museum of Sonoma County, Sonoma, CA; Hearts of Our People: Native Women Artists, Multi-venue traveling exhibition originating at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis, MN. Sonya is a United States Artist Fellow, Native Arts and Cultures Fellow, Eiteljorg Fellow, Joan Mitchell Fellow, and Rasmuson Fellow. Sonya lives and works in Anchorage, Alaska.
