A resident of Spokane, Washington, Lisa Ray is an artist who creates masks using materials including feathers, fur, rawhide, beads and other objects to depict items from her native Algonquin Shawnee heritage. She specializes in quill and beadwork as well as the preparation of furs, skulls and skins. In her work, Lisa Ray reflects her own Native American Heritage and has also studied the traditions of other North American Tribes over the past 15 years. She utilizes symbolic elements from these various cultures in a contemporary style and through artistic mediums to convey Native American tradition and history. Historically, masks were incorporated into the ceremonies, traditions, and spirituality of many tribes from around the world. Masks were considered to be alive, representing beings that exist in the spirit world. Individuals of importance, in order to communicate with ancestors, connect with and personify spirits, and to transform ones identity, wore masks. Families and clans within a tribe often used masks as genealogical record keepers. Significant events such as a birth, death, victory in battle, or a successful hunt were recorded on these masks. Thus, each item contained on the masks is symbolic, having particular meaning to the tribes. Masks are considered sacred and were made according to strict tribal traditions.
