Welcome to our website
We are a 100% Native American owned business “Fourth World Design” (FWD). A relatively new company, we started out by designing colorful note cards that depict American Indian artwork created by Gerald Dawavendewa. Recently, FWD added a line of print reproductions using Gerald’s original art work. We also carry gift items and a line of Koshari Winter cards. All products carry Dawavendewa’s unique trademark signature. In addition, FWD offers several services, graphic design, web design, book readings, and lectures on art and Hopi culture. Gerald (Hopi / Cherokee) and Sylvia Dawavendewa (Havasupai / Hopi / Tewa) are FWD owners.
Fine Art Gallery
Along with carrying the fine art of Gerald Dawavendewa, we also offer a unique collection of art for purchase from other fine Native American artists and artwork of Native American interests. Gerald has had the privilege over the years to meet and befriend many artists, both those who have pioneered native art and those who are beginning their art career. We carry artwork personally collected by Dawavendewa and artwork that we represent the artist and ensure that they received a fair return on their work.
