Savannah LeCornu

Savannah LeCornu is a self-taught artist from Ketchikan, Alaska. She is Tsimshian, Haida, and Nimiipuu (Nez Perce). Savannah primarily draws and paints in digital and traditional formats but she also beads. She works in formline and plateau art styles and strives to create modern, accessible art that celebrates indigenous peoples.

She comes from multiple tribes and works in the art forms of both her northern coastal and plateau roots, often combining them. Through vibrant colors, humorous titles, modern elements and traditional shapes she strives to create art that reflects her unique view and invites the audience to rethink the preconceived notions they may have about Indigenous peoples and art. Savannah received her B.A in performing arts from Western Washington University, her concentrations were in lighting design and playwriting.

Savannah was the recipient of the Native American Fellowship from Ucross where she completed a residency in Spring of 2022. She was the recipient of the Harpo Foundation Fellowship for Native American Artists from the Vermont Studio Center where she completed a residency in Fall of 2023. In Fall of 2025 she completed a residency with Ma’s House, a BIPOC-only artist residency, and with Sealaska Heritage Institute as a demonstrating artist.

Her work has been displayed in the Columbia City Gallery (Seattle), the Ucross Art Gallery (Wyoming), The Yellowstone Art Museum (Montana), the Golden History Museum (Colorado), and currently in the Tread of Pioneers Museum (Colorado).
