JJ Otero (Navajo/Hopi) has seen life through artistic lenses even though most of his career has been spent in the Information Technology field. In his current artistic pivot, he has taken on metalsmithing with an intense drive to be the best he's capable of despite such a late start in the arts. His journey has trekked through a successful, award winning music career, a prolifictwo year excursion into acrylic painting, an intro to the Native American markets world through his beautifully crafted cradleboards, and his current obsession with jewelry making - a true artist that never understood it until the last five years!

In 2018, JJ Otero was accepted into the prestigious Heard Museum Art Market in Phoenix, AZ as well as the SEEDS Art Market and Santa Fe Indian Market in Santa Fe, NM. JJ’s philosophy guides all things in his life: This moment is perfect and there’s nothing lacking. With this deep abiding fire, JJ’s unique stamping and texturing styles coupled with a relentless drive to be a well known metalsmith is making his metalwork and personality stand out while he navigates an unexpected passion discovered in his ever-growing art career!
