Alison Bremner
Alison O. Bremner Nax̲shag̲eit (also known as Alison Marks,[1] born 1989[2]) is an artist of the Tlingit people of Alaska, whose art combines themes of humor, contemporary art, and Tlingit traditions, using mixed media including painting, woodcarving, and collage.[3][4][5] She has also made more traditional Tlingit art pieces, "to be used during potlatches and ceremonies" within the Tlingit community.[6] Originally from Yakutat, Alaska, she grew up in Juneau, Alaska, and lives in Seattle, Washington.[3] She describes her art as "inspired by ancient traditions and modern coffee".[5]
Bremner studied with Tsimshian totem pole carvers David A. Boxley and his son David R. Boxley before making her own way as an artist.[3][4] She is active in revitalizing Tlingit culture,[3][6][7] and has been said to be "the first Tlingit woman to carve and raise a totem pole".[4][7]
