Raynard Lalo

Raynard Lalo, Hotevilla, AZ, (1984- ). He was born in Hotevilla (Third Mesa) and has been an active carver since 1998. Raynard is the son of Dorleen Gashweseoma and Valjean Lalo, brother of Gene Lalo. Raynard was inspired by the traditional carvings and began making them at age fifteen. He uses only natural earth pigments, crushed to a fine powder, in making his paints. Raynard is a wonderful young man and he almost always comes to the shop with his Mom and Dad and his brother Gene. It is always a bright spot in our day when the Lalo family stops in.
