Who we are

Caleigha Gotthardt, a proud Inupiaq and Dena'ina Athabascan artist, was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. But has family roots in Tyonek (Sunrise Family) and King Island (Savganna Family). A self-taught multi-media artist, Caleigha creates contemporary artwork using materials such as Walrus Ivory, Bowhead Whale Baleen, and Seal Skin, honoring her cultural heritage through her designs.

Her work is featured in various community spaces, including gift shops, museums, Native corporations, and renowned markets such as the Native Art Market in Scottsdale, Arizona, and SABO in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Caleigha chose the name HRAFN (pronounced "Rah-pn") for her business as a tribute to her mixed heritage of Inupiaq, Athabascan, and Scandinavian ancestry. Meaning "Raven" in Old Norse and Icelandic, the name reflects the Raven's significance in both Inupiaq and Athabascan histories, serving as a symbol of resilience, transformation, and storytelling.
