About Troy Sice: Fetish carver Troy Sice reaches back to a prehistoric Zuni pueblo tradition in the use of antler (and different stone mediums) for creating animal and human forms. He is a third -generation carver, the grandson of George H. CheeChee, nephew of Ramie and Miguel Haloo and half-brother of Colvin Peina.
       His grandfather is one of the most important figures in the Zuni fetish carving history. Known most for his bird fetish necklaces and bird in-flight pendant since the 1930's. His uncles, Ramie and Miguel Haloo, influenced by their father started a new trend in the 1970's with their whimsical standing bears carved of deer antler. Soon followed by their nephew, Colvin Peina, it was inevitable the art would be perfected. Coming along with new ideas and introducing his own style of corn maidens, Colvin had a keen eye for detail and a passion for his art. He encouraged his younger half-brother Troy Sice to follow in his footsteps, and allowed troy to evolve the trade into a colorful spectrum of visual art.
       Combining his own artistic views and adding those of his patriarchs before him, Troy definitely has broken the mold and set a new standard for both fetish carvers and sculptors alike.
       His works are timeless pieces, which include the sitting and standing bears, frogs, badgers, and cornmaidens. Recently he has added unique singing and dancing bears and his own take on the famous nativity story. Troy's version consists of six carved and inlaid with stone figures (Mary, Joseph, three wise men, and baby Jesus) and can even include additional figures such as angles, camels, donkeys, cows, sheep, and coyotes. He is also known for other intricately detailed sculptures taken from the Zuni Culture and stories such as the water serpent K'olo'wisi, as well as the knifewing, eagle dancer, buffalo dancer, and the Hopi warrior woman.
       Pictures of his art have been in numerous publications, such as the 505 Magazine, the Collectors Guide of New Mexico, Native Peoples Magazine, and Accent Magazine. Troy's works are on view in several different museums and can be found at Wrights Indian Art in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
