Raven Halfmoon (b. 1991) [1] is a painter and sculptor from the Caddo Nation known for oversize clay-based sculptures.
A member of the Caddo Nation, Halfmoon grew up in Binger and Norman, Oklahoma. [2] She was introduced to working with clay at the age of thirteen and was influenced by Caddo artist Jeri Redcorn. [3] [2] She studied at the University of Arkansas, graduating with a double Bachelor’s Degree in cultural anthropology and ceramics and painting. [4] [3] Halfmoon completed two-year residency at the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts in 2021. [5]
Halfmoon's first solo exhibit, Okla Homma to Manahatta, debuted in 2021 at Ross+Kramer in New York City. [3] [2] It was developed during her Bray Foundation residency. [6] [2] The title of the show combined the Choctaw phrase for the Codo Nation with the Lenape word for Manhattan. [7] [2] The collection consisted of ten large-scale pieces, some weighing upwards of 450 pounds and standing 6 feet tall. [3]
