About the Artist

Reimagining an Ancient Art

Wéidaaká Yóodóohaa (Bill Pfeifer, Jr) is a Native American Artist who belongs to the Tlingit tribe from Southeast Alaska, now based in Washington. His work, which he calls “Formline Evolved,” is a dynamic fusion of traditional Formline principles with a modern, graphic sensibility.

Taught the basics of Formline design by his father, also an artist, Wéidaaká Yóodóohaa’s training was further honed under the privilege of studying with renowned Tlingit master carver Nathan Jackson.
