Sonya Kelliher-Combs is a mixed-media visual artist whose 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. Sonya lives and works in Anchorage, Alaska.
