Gordon- 

 

Born in the heart of the Four Corners, Gordon grew up surrounded by the open land, red rock, and rich cultural heritage of the Southwest. A Vietnam veteran and retired engineer, he brings the same precision and purpose from his earlier life into his art today.

 

For more than ten years, Gordon has worked as a silversmith and lapidary artist, drawn to the enduring beauty of Southwestern turquoise — stones that carry the stories of the land and its people. He often reflects that the truest expression of the region’s spirit is found “where the Diné wore their wealth, rooted in the time and land that reveal the real culture.” Each cabbed stone and handcrafted piece honors that heritage.  crafted with reverence, and a lifelong connection to the region that raised him.​​​​​​​​​
