Doug Hyde

Nez Perce Tribe, Assiniboine First Nation, Chippewa Tribe; born Hermiston, Oregon, 1946
BiographyDoug Hyde grew up on the Nez Perce Reservation outside Lapwai, Idaho, and attended the Institute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe from 1963 to 1966, where he studied under the Apache sculptor Allan Houser. He briefly attended art school in Los Angeles before enlisting in the U.S. Army and serving two tours of duty in Vietnam. After his military service, Hyde returned to the Nez Perce Reservation where he worked briefly as a tombstone cutter. He moved back to Santa Fe in 1971 and was a graduate student and instructor at the Institute of American Indian Arts until he opened his own studio in 1974. Hyde works in stone and uses a direct carving method, letting the natural features of the stone dictate the final form of the piece. His work deals with Native American stories, myths, and traditions, many of which were passed down to him by his grandfather.
