Sheldon Harvey is a celebrated Navajo artist whose work bridges ancestral tradition and contemporary expression. Born in 1978 of the Taa'chii'nii and Áshǫǫhí clans, he is known for his striking Yei sculptures and paintings, depicting the spirit beings of the Diné creation story—crafted from wood, paint, fabric, stains, and macaw feathers, with elements of Cubism and Expressionism.

A professor of art at Diné College, Harvey achieved a rare triple win at the 2008 Santa Fe Indian Market—Best of Show and Best of Classification for his painting Trixter Way, and Best of Classification for his sculpture Twins. His work is held in major collections across the United States, Europe, and Asia.

How to Measure for Sculpture

Before purchasing a sculpture, measure the height, width, and depth of the area where it will be placed. Be sure to consider nearby furniture, walkways, doorways, and architectural features so the piece feels well-proportioned in the space.

If the sculpture will sit on a pedestal, table, console, or shelf, measure that surface as well to ensure there is enough room for the work to sit securely and comfortably. It is also important to review the sculpture’s full dimensions and weight, especially for larger or heavier pieces.

A simple way to visualize placement is to mark out the sculpture’s footprint on the floor or surface with painter’s tape, or use paper cut to size. This can help you better understand how much space the piece will occupy from every angle.

If you are local to Santa Fe or Scottsdale, we are happy to assist with delivery and place the sculpture in your home so you can see how it looks in the space.
