James Bender is a well-known artist recognized for his significant contributions to Contemporary Northwest Coast Indian Art works. His work summons dignity and refinement, honoring this traditional art form through the use of clean, simple lines and impeccable craftsmanship.
In 1972, while earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Seattle's University of Washington, the artist began carving Northwest Native American art.
