Clissa Martin

Daughter of Carol Martinez - the miniature horse carver known for inlaying a hand on their rumps. Sister of Felissa Martin, and cousin to Corwin Yamutewa. Clissa has created a style uniquely her own, starting out carving turtles, maidens and bears, then branching out to carve as of late; squirrels, frogs, beavers, foxes & rabbits always adding a dragonfly on the back of each animal she creates. Her fetishes often are inlaid with a dragonfly or bumblebee. Her color contrasting dragonflies are turquoise, coral, lapis and other stones.
