Collection: Preston Singletary

Recognized internationally, Singletary’s art has become synonymous with the relationship between Tlingit culture and fine art. His glass sculptures deal with themes of Tlingit mythology and traditional designs, while also using music to shape his contemporary perspective of Native culture.

In 2000 Singletary received an honorary name from elder, Joe David (Nuu Chah Nulth)
and in 2009 Singletary received an honorary doctorate degree from University of Puget
Sound (Tacoma, WA). Forty years of glass making, creating music, and working together
with elders has put him in a position of being a keeper of cultural knowledge, while
forging new directions in new materials and concepts of Indigenous arts.
