Artist Bio: 

Gary Reeves picked up silver at twelve. He learned it from his older brother David and by the time he was done he'd become — in the plain words of the traders who carried him — one of the most recognized names in Navajo jewelry. His work sits in the Heard Museum, and his showcase was a fixture at Perry Null's trading post in Gallup. He worked the family's Navajo Revival style — early-twentieth-century Navajo forms reworked — and filled that old silver with dense stampwork set against high-grade turquoise, the same language his younger brother Sunshine Reeved would carry to a "king of turquoise" reputation. Three brothers, one bench tradition; Gary was the middle of it.
