He originally worked as a welder but turned to carving full-time after an injury. Chee carves primarily from cottonwood root using traditional Hopi knife-carving techniques. His dynamic sculptures emphasize realistic anatomy, movement, and cultural storytelling. He often collaborates with family members and creates both Hopi Katsinam (Kachina figures) and Navajo-themed pieces. His work has earned recognition, including Best of Class at the Santa Fe Indian Market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: none; mso-hide: all;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eChee is known for highly detailed, lifelike contemporary Kachina dolls that capture the spirit and motion of the figures as they appear in Hopi ceremonies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45877089632421,"sku":"L125","price":598.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/s725348264778838518_p184_i1_w581.jpg?v=1757344781","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/l125-hopi-kachina-hopi-long-horned-wapla-ala-by-raymond-chee","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
