TIMOTHY TALAWEPI-Kachina Carver


Timothy Talawepi was born February 6th, 1967 to Charles Talawepi and Marianne Tenakhongva. Timothy is self-taught but learned a lot from watching his father. He also gives credit to Hopi carver, Brian Honyouti, who helped him perfect his art.
Timothy is married to Rosemary. Rosemary’s father, Kenneth Pavenyouma is well known also for his Kachina carving. Timothy and Rosemary have 4 children, Kenneth, Jr., Nathen, Darrin and Tini.
Timothy’s favorite Kachina to carve is the Blue Chasing Star Kachina. He was featured in Arizona Highway’s “A New Generation of Indian Artists” issue November 1992. He also was “Hopi Carver of the Year” at the Sedona Hopi show.
