Kori Home Page Native American Painter Potter Educator

Kori Guy is a Native American painter, and potter. Kori is a mixed-blood Navajo of the To' aheed Lii'nii Clan (Where the Waters Flow Together Clan). Being raised with the Navajo traditions from her Grandma, Kori feels it is impossible to do her art work without drawing from her deep love within the traditions she was raised.

Kori lives way up in the mountains where the beauty inspires her, her art name - Dine' Wool choo'n, means - Navajo Quilt. She believes that her Navajo traditions are the thread that has given her the sanity and strength to put all the pieces of her together is this world in which we live in. Kori has a deep love for the Earth, her Mother, and its people, and uses her art work to try to teach and help heal the wounds of those around her, and encourage others to reach for joy and unselfish happiness, as her Navajo traditions and examples have taught her. All of her pottery and paintings are a direct result of something that she has experienced or learned and wishes to share with those that are five fingered those that are four legged, and those that fly and those that swim, we are all related.

Being a professional artist for 36 years and an educator for 30 years, Kori now calls her art work Story-paintings, and Story-pots. Her audiences have continually asked her to please write up each of the stories about each piece. So, due to the requests, she is now beginning to do that. When you buy a piece of work, Kori will make sure that you have the story as a part of that piece, and will be glad to answer any questions you might have. She invites you to joyfully participate with her in the dance of life as you enjoy her art work, and to dare to live and be a part of your own life and future.
