Join Ehren Kee Natay for an intimate online studio visit, where this multifaceted artist shares his creative journey and the legacy of his grandfather, a pioneering Native American musician. Experience a unique blend of art, storytelling, and personal connection as Ehren reveals the wisdom behind his work and inspirations.
Ehren Kee Natay is a musician, performer, painter, jeweler, and photographer. No matter what the medium, Ehren has a desire to share and connect with others.
“I have a prayer, a spirit, a breath that is inside me. It tells me to create. It cannot be silenced. It can only be quieted by creating,” writes Ehren. “There is a journey in every piece of art, and also a lesson. When I can share this journey and this lesson with another human, an exchange of wisdom takes place.”
Ehren’s recent artistic practice has been focused on archival research about his grandfather, Ed Lee Natay, who was the first Native American musician to professionally record traditional music for commercial release. Ehren’s goal is to create a literary, illustrated work of non-fiction that chronicles his grandfather’s life and celebrates his legendary influence on American music.
