Update On Recent Sold Native Inuit Artwork

Since we are still not able to update our native art gallery website due to computer problems this week, the following pieces have been sold;

dancing polar bear - ibe-60
inukshuk with seal - iin-46
inukshuk - iin-58

They will still show up on our online art gallery website for now. Once we get access to out website software, we will remove them from the gallery right away.

Thanks for your patience. In the meantime, please enjoy all the artwork, information articles and videos on the site.

Will Have Delays Updating Website This Week

Our office computer was fried over the weekend due to a power outtage. Our website software was on it. Fortunately, we backed up all important files to an external device but we still don't have access to our website management software yet. Normally, we remove items from our Native American Art Gallery as soon as they have been sold but we will not be able to do that this week until we get back our website software in place on a new computer. Sorry for the inconvenience but despite our computer issues, we are still able to access orders and ship artwork out as usual. We have been doing that so far this week. So keep visiting our website.

Extremely Rare Marbled Murrelet Bird Native Art Wood Carving

The marbled murrelet is a small seabird in the Pacific northwest coastal region that is facing endangered status because of overlogging. A customer wanted to get a Northwest native art wood carving of such a bird so Free Spirit Gallery commissioned master carver Cody Mathias to produce one.

We sent Cody some photos of the marbled murrelet and he designed a Northwest Native art version. Although the progress of the project was slow for various reasons, like other custom commissioned art projects, the results were worth waiting for.

The customer will use this unique and one of a kind Northwest Native art wood carving of a marbled murrelet bird as a college graduation gift for her son. The rest of us can see what this wonderful bird wood carving looks like at page 2 of our Custom Designed Native Art pages.

Inuit Drawings Paintings On Display

The TD Inuit art exhibit also had some really nice Inuit drawings or paintings. Some photos were taken and they are just being edited right now for an upcoming article at the Free Spirit Gallery website. More than likely, these will be part of the first articles of the TD Inuit art gallery visit to come out next month. They will be announced in the June newsletter.

More Inuit Art Culture Videos To Come

Most of the new videos we have produced in the 12 months have been of Native American art and culture due to the type of events we have attended. However, this will change in the future since we took lots of video footage of the TD Bank's Inuit art collection in Toronto. We are due for more Inuit art content since our Inuit Art Culture Videos section is pretty slim compared to its counterpart in Native American. Having said that, there is presently some interesting videos in our Inuit Art Culture Videos section.

We will start editing some of the video footage we took and plan to release the first videos of the TD collection in June. This of course will be announced in our June gallery newsletter so if make sure that you are on our list by signing up at the top right of this blog page.

White Stone Inuit Sculptures

The partnership that we have with Gallery Canada is working out quite nicely. Gallery Canada focuses on white stone Inuit sculptures since they source their artwork from a region where there is an abundant supply of white stone. Free Spirit Gallery doesn't really deal with such pieces so if customers do not see anything they like at our Inuit Sculptures section, they can simply click on links that send them over to Gallery Canada's site.

Spread Wing Native Bird Wood Carvings All Sold Out

You might recall that a few months ago, master carver Paul Joseph sent us several of his unique spread wing native bird wood carvings including eagles, ravens and thunderbirds. The very last one which was a thunderbird, was sold last week. These spread wing bird carvings are very rare and I don't know when we will get anymore from Paul. In fact, all of our Paul Joseph native wood carvings are gone but we still have some nice pieces left by Cody Mathias and Gary Baker. See them at our Native Wood Carvings section.
