About the Artist

Oreland C. Joe, Sr.

b. 1958 · Diné (Navajo) & Ute sculptor · Kirtland, New Mexico

Oreland C. Joe, Sr. is among the most distinguished Native American sculptors working today. Of Diné (Navajo) and Ute descent, he was born in Shiprock, New Mexico, in 1958 and works in stone and bronze — carving marble, alabaster, and limestone into figures rooted in Native history, ceremony, and dignity.

In 1993 he became the first Native American member of the Cowboy Artists of America, where he has earned multiple Gold and Silver medals, and in 1996 he created the monumental 22-foot bronze of Chief Standing Bear in Ponca City, Oklahoma. His work is held in private, corporate, and museum collections across the United States and abroad.

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.
