Watson is a Hopi Indian artist who has been carving Kachina dolls since he was a teenager, and has been carving seriously since about 1994. Like most artists, he is mostly self-taught by watching other carvers; his father, Bob Namoki, is also a well-known carver. Watson typically creates smaller figures, with particular attention paid to the costume of the Kachina and its color and design. Watson’s carving is important to him and not just as an expression of his Hopi culture, but also as his primary source of income. He is a fairly prolific carver and does the full range of Kachinas. He is married and has 3 children.
