Wilmer Kaye (born 1952, Hopi Pueblo, Badger/Butterfly Clan, from Hotevilla on Third Mesa) is a renowned contemporary Hopi kachina carver. He began carving in 1965 at age 13, taught by his uncle Willard Loloma, and comes from a prominent artistic family (including legendary jeweler Charles Loloma and sister Sonwai). His style emphasizes sculptural simplicitysmooth forms, flowing robes, and expressive facesrather than heavy action poses or excessive detail. His works are highly collected, appear in museums, and have won awards; he’s referenced in books like Gregory Schaaf’s Hopi Katsina: 1,600 Artist Biographies.
