Sonya Kelliher-Combs was raised in the Northwest Alaska community of Nome. Her work has been shown in numerous individual and group exhibitions in Alaska, the United States and internationally. She offers through her mixed media painting and sculpture a chronicle of the ongoing struggle for self-definition and identity in the Alaskan context. Kelliher-Combs combination of shared iconography with intensely personal imagery demonstrates the generative power that each vocabulary has over the other. Similarly, her use of synthetic, organic, traditional and modern materials moves beyond oppositions between Western/Native culture, self/other and man/nature, to examine their interrelationships and interdependence while also questioning accepted notions of beauty. Kelliher-Combs process dialogues the relationship of her work to skin, the surface by which an individual is mediated in culture.
