He is a member of the Hopi tribe who speaks his native language and is an
active participant in his religion.
Ramson is a successful jeweler, glass blower, stained glass artist, poet and
traditional style Katsina doll carver.
He lectures all over the country.
His books of poetry include Silent Winds, Poetry of One Hopi, Ascending
the Reed and Drifting Through Ancestor Dreams.
A book of his selected poems was published in France in early 2001. Ramson is what those in the trading business call a “hard-core” traditional katsina doll carver. He is featured in the Johnathon Day book Traditional Hopi Kachinas.
Ramson carves his Kachinas the old way using obsidian as tool to work the
cottonwood root. He uses natural pigments in all of his painting. |
