Denise and Samuel Wallace

Denise Wallace (b 1957, Seattle, WA) is a jewelry artist of Native Alaskan Aleut descent who works with her husband, Samuel Wallace (b. 1936, Calvin, VA). She maintains and modifies a walrus-ivory carving tradition.

She is most well known for her elaborate belts which depict people, animals, symbols, and folk tales of her native culture. They use fossil ivory, silver, gold, and richly colored stones to illustrate her rich culture.
