Adams is descended from legendary Cherokee woodcarvers James
and Urma Bradley. He also studied under Cherokee woodcarver Dr.
James "Bud" Smith, who was also displaying his work at the IFAM.
Adams says his work is inspired by legendary woodcarver Amanda Crowe.
Adams, Smith, and Grant were among 267 Native artists, craftsmen
and musicians from through the country and Canada who were invited
to participate in the second annual event.
The 94th annual SWAIA Market featured 1,100 Native American
artists from 400 nations throughout the U.S. and Canada. Attracting
some 150,000 visitors to Santa Fe each year, it is the largest juried
Native American art show in the world.
"At Santa Fe Indian Market, we are not just promoting and selling
art, we are unfolding the history and legacy of Native traditions
and cultures, while recognizing contemporary growth and evolution,"
said Dallin Maybee, SWAIA's Chief Operating Officer. "Santa Fe Indian
Market allows you to immerse yourself in a rich, sacred cultural
experience. It is a place to embrace diversity, creativity, living
traditions and a warm sense of family."
