The Studio

Every Design Begins as Hand-Carved Art

Northern Spiritlines was born from the creative bond between a brother and sister — Alexander and Jessie Pappas — raised in the Pacific Northwest, surrounded by the coastline, forests, and wildlife that shape their work today.

Each design starts as an original piece hand-carved by Alex in wood and precious metals, then translated into digital form — its intricate detail preserved across a curated line of home goods, apparel, and gifts.

Original carvings are one-of-a-kind and availability changes often — contact us for current art availability and prices.

Our designs are original works by non-Native Alaskan artists and are not Native American–made, nor affiliated with or endorsed by any Tribe.
