Fabian Tsethlikai

Influenced by his cousins, Reynold and Ronnie Lunasee, Fabian started carving gypsum and serpentine bears in 1985. His intuitive sense in material selection is the first step in creating a carving. The shape and color composition of the stone is his next consideration. His respect for Zuni carvers of this generation inspires his creativity and instills the integrity in the art of fetish carving. Fabian shares studio space with Bremette Epaloose. Fabian has become a highly respected carver in Zuni due in part to his precise and unique style.
