" "Sculpture of Sakakawea

David Njos first started etching designs into wood as a sign-maker, later evolving his skills into carving 2-dimensional images into wood that he sells on commission. Although he continues to work with wood, David has recently moved into wrought-iron sculptures, building gates, alter rails for churches, and the Centennial Monument in Williston. Currently, he is working on a war memorial at the Riverview Cemetery in Williston and has recently completed a sculpture of Sakakawea to be sold by the State Historical Society of North Dakota.

During the months of October, November, December 2001, he was one of the featured artists in the offices of North Dakota Governor John Hoeven and First Lady Mikey Hoeven.

David has studied at the Colorado Institute of Art and makes his living as an artist and a landscaper.
