Art and tradition come together in the hands of the woodcarver
Although Douglas Trail-Johnson is working within forms and conventions that are many centuries old, he knows he is creating something new. A 2004 Bush Artist Fellow, he used his fellowship to refine his own signature style and integrate it into his specialty: hand-carved ceremonial items for Orthodox churches. “I want to put my own mark on it, but people who know the art would say it is still part of the tradition,” he explained.

Frank Big Bear, Janel Jacobson and Walter Piehl are the first three recipients of the Bush Artist Program’s Enduring Vision Awards, a $100,000 award for mature artists.
