About the Artist

Andrew Harvier is a traditional and contemporary basket-maker, potter, and jeweler. He is of Santa Clara, Taos and Tohono O'odham ancestry, and his career spans more than 48 years. He resides in Santa Clara with his wife Judith.

Andrew learned to make red willow baskets in 1974, and has evolved his style to what he calls "Northern Rio Grande Basketry." Each basket is created using red willow grown and harvested along the Rio Grande river and region. The willow is hand-gathered, sorted, and woven into wonderful baskets and figurines. Colors of willow range from light buff tans to greens, golden browns, and deep plum red. White willows are achieved by peeling or skinning the stems and exposing the inside tones.

Collector's Guide

Baskets are one of the oldest-known forms of Native American art, and today, one of the most valuable and widely collected.

For centuries, Native American cultures have made baskets in a wide variety of forms and styles and used them for carrying, serving, storage, and more. In addition to their utilitarian value, baskets were also appreciated for their incredible beauty, and skill in basketmaking was a source of pride for Native communities.

In the Southwest, baskets were often made from sumac, willow, or yucca in both coiled and woven styles. The Hopi, Apache, Tohono O’Odham and Navajo are most known for their basketry, and today many skilled artists from these cultures create exquisite traditional baskets using all-natural plant fibers and methods passed down from their ancestors.

Basketry remains a diverse Native American art form as artists create pieces with a variety of contemporary and traditional designs, carrying on an important legacy in their timeless works of art.
