Collection: Michael Perry

Michael Perry is a Navajo artist born in Fort Defiance, Arizona and raised in Lukachukai. Influenced from a young age by his parents, who were jewelers (Betty & Johnny Harvey), he became interested in jewelry making, and after graduating from college he equipped himself with tools in earnest and taught himself, establishing his technique and his own style.

His style beautifully fuses traditional Navajo designs with modern elements. He now runs a workshop in Canyon de Chelly, Arizona. He carefully selects only high-quality American turquoise and Mediterranean coral, and continues to craft his work with meticulous care and no compromise.

He is attracting great attention as a rising hope among young Navajo artists, and is highly regarded at well-known Indian art galleries in Arizona and New Mexico, with awards including those from the Gallup Inter-Tribal Ceremonial and the Charlotte Museum.
