Nolan Youvella, (1970-2020) “Sunman”, is a member of the Corn Clan and was born into the Hopi/Tewa Reservation in 1970. He is the great grandson of Nampeyo, the woman who is the most highly honored Hopi pottery artist. The Nampeyo family is credited for reviving and expanding the beautiful ancient style of pottery called Sikyatki. Nolan began experimenting with pottery making at the age of 11. He learned the art of traditional pottery making from his famous Mother, Iris Youvella Nampeyo. Iris taught Nolan all the fundamentals of coiling and painting and from here he brought his own unique style and vision to the medium, making his work sought after from many collector’s around the world.
