Elijah Strongheart Evenson sculpts at the edge of the seen and the unseen, where the human figure becomes something more than flesh—something remembered, but not entirely understood. His work, shaped by Mystic Naturalism, pulls from the subconscious, where memory, dream, and form melt together. Each sculpture seems unearthed rather than created, as if it had always existed just beneath the surface, waiting to be found.

His figures are quiet, yet heavy with presence. Created from clay during ceremony under moonlight, they embody the space between waking and dreaming, between what we know and what we feel. Strongheart pulls archetypes from deep within the subconscious, imposing shape but uncovering something that was already there, half-forgotten, half-remembered.

His sculptures do not explain themselves. They do not demand understanding, only recognition of something just beyond language, just beyond reach, yet undeniably familiar.

Elijah was born in the sacred desert hills outside of Santa Fe New Mexico. When he was 9 years old he moved to the northwest and saw a vibrant flourishing forest rich with water and life. Obsessed with nature and determined to find an understanding of existence he has had a life long mission to connect to the subconscious natural reality and bring these insights to humanity through art. This is the mission he calls Mystic Naturalism.

Elijah Studied sculpture at the Seattle Sculpture Atelier from 2007-2012
