Ed Kabotie is from Santa Clara Pueblo and the Hopi village of Shungopavi. His art is reflective and inspired by these two dynamic cultures.

Santa Clara is well known for red and black pottery. Ed specializes in etchwork, and often collaborates with relatives that produce fine polished pottery. His Santa Clara grandfather, Edward P. Dozier, was a noted anthropologist, and his example has inspired Ed to research and write on Native American history.

Ed comes from a notable artistic heritage on his Hopi side. His grandfather, Fred and father, Michael, are well known in the Indian art community for their contributions in silver and visual arts. Ed carries on this tradition through paintings, jewelry, and carvings.

In addition to the work mentioned above, Ed is also an accomplished musician. Though known mostly as a percussionist, Ed has recently released a seven song demo that features his own bilingual compositions accompanied by acoustic guitar and Native flute.
