Randall ChittoRandall Chitto, SculptureHeritage: Mississippi ChoctawResidence: Santa FeRandall Chitto is from the Turtle Clan of the Mississippi Choctaw. They believe that the Turtle is the keeper of stories and history. His shell keeps him from evil influences. Growing up in Mississippi, he always knew that he was an artist at heart. He couldn't conceive of being a doctor or a lawyer. He lives and works in Santa Fe, crafting his wonderful Turtle Storytellers and Koshares. Randall first kiln-fires his pieces, then finishes them in a sawdust-fired container, which gives his pieces a special patina.
