I'm looking for a
silversmith artist by the name Brenda Kasik (sp?). I
believe she was originally from Haines or Wrangell. I
have a bracelet from her and have heard that she is not
working anymore and would like to find a bracelet for my
daughter. Any information would be great! |

I found a set of wonderful hand-painted individual
ashtrays with black & white images of Eskimo, Polar
Bear, Igloos, Sled Dogs, Moose, etc.
They are wonderful, and each piece is incised with "VS
Alaska 1962" on the bottom. Would just love to know who
VS might be.
I love his (or her) work!

I have a beautiful Totem
which is about 3’ high, and has spread wings making it
about 3’ wide.
Click for photos
It is signed “Made in Alaska by Raven”, so I assume the
artist name is simply Raven. I am very interested to
know the artist and the meaning behind the piece. ~ it
was given to me as a gift. |

I found a painting down here in Las
Vegas by a artist name Goodalle, I believe his first
name was
John The painting is a
1946 oil that was used in an ad campaign
in that years' tourist book. Anyone have
information on him or his wife
Kathleen? [Alaskan
Artist Mary Regat remembers an artist: Harvey Goodale. Trying to get
a photo of this work - Pam] |

I have a Koyuk carving
that I'd like some info on.
Click for photo
The piece is signed but I can not get a good picture of
it. Are you familiar with the artist and is his
first
initial I. or J. Koyuk?
[Think this may be by Jochim Koyuk out of Nome area
around 1960? Can anyone confirm that? - Pam] |

I recently discovered a block print of an Inuit Child
signed E. St. Claire. Have you heard of that artist?
Also included was a photo of the child from 1953 that
she designed the block print from.

I purchased the print
and photo at an estate sale that had a lot of other
Alaska prints and tourists things. Thank-you so much for
your help. I thought the child was adorable. It appears
to have been a gift. |

I am looking for information on
Ed(?) Rayburn. I use to stop in
his studio, where he taught oil painting, on Blueberry north
across from the Salvation Army Thrift Store on W. No. Lights Blvd. in
Anchorage.
He taught in the studio off Blueberry for several
years. I
have not spoken with him since about 1990. I was told he may
have lived in the Anchorage Pioneer Home in the mid 90's(??)
The paintings I have are on 16x20 canvas as most of his were at
that time. I also have photos of him painting at his easel.

We have
an answer:
"I
am writing to you after seeing my uncle, Ed Rayburn, on
your site. I am sad to inform you that he passed
away in 2007 while living in Willow, Alaska. I knew him
as my Uncle Joe. His full name was Edmond Franklin
Joseph Rayburn, Jr. and his most recognized work was a
painting called 'Day of the Ahgvik' .... A.
Rayburn, 3/22/2010" |

I have a old copper art
picture of an igloo with Eskimo.. (it) has a 3D effect.
It is signed La Vada...it was purchased by my parents
when we lived in Anchorage in the early to mid 1950's.
It is one of my prized possessions and have been unable
to find any information on this artist. The frame is
wood painted black and is original to the picture. The
picture measures about 9 by 12 inches. |

I am trying to locate
information on an artist named H.J. Henthorn. I
purchased two prints by this artist in 1983 at a charity

Some twenty five + years
ago I visited Anchorage, Alaska and had the pleasure of
purchasing a wildlife water colour done by a local
artist by the name of Shannon Chase Poole. At the time,
she had a number of unlimited edition prints and I would
love to purchase more of her artwork. Her last
known address was Box 13154, Trapper Creek, Alaska
99683. |

I have a painting by
Shirley Munro-Rhine. It was purchased at the Farshi Fine
Arts Studio in Seward Alaska in about 1979. The
title of the painting is “Reinbold”. Can you tell
me anything about the painting or artist? |
|
|
Shirley's son contacted me by phone today (8/17/10).
Shirley has passed away but hopefully the family will
post some of her works on the web soon... Pam -

Quite a few years ago, my
parents purchased a piece of art-work by
Susan
Payne...49/750 entitled "Whale/Killer Whale"...1960s?
According to some notes on the back of the framed piece,
the pressed-paper shapes are based upon Eskimo Spirit
Masks.
I am trying to put together some biographical
information for Ms. Payne and maybe obtain a picture of
the artist. The intent is to consolidate this
information and attach it to the back of piece for
posterity. [Alaskan Artist Don Cornelius says she's still in the
area, trying to touch base with her - Pam]

We have
an answer:
"With [Artists Alaska's clues and] the help of an
Alaskan art studio, I was able to track down the artist,
Susan Payne, in Petersburg Alaska. She was kind enough
to send me some biographical material and a photograph
so that I could put together some information to place
on the back of our piece done by her ... D.D., 3/23/10" |
