Who is Linda
Linda Kahega’s artwork is heavily inspired by her 35 year career as a pediatrician, a role that allowed her to see happiness and resilience in the eyes of children around the world. Now retired, she channels these experiences into her vibrant creations. Many of her fused glass pieces are displayed prominently in galleries such as the Hyatts, enchanting audiences with their intricate beauty and emotional depth. Though many of her collectors are based in Africa and the Pacific Islands, her work resonates universally, garnering admiration from diverse corners of the globe.
Artist statement
The stories embedded within my art originate from personal experiences. They might stem from something as unassuming as the sight of an owl during my evening walk, or any moment that fills me with peace or joy. I invite you to view my work not just with your eyes, but with your heart, to feel peace, serenity and innate happiness that each piece endeavors to convey.

About us
At Running Doe Art, we are a group of Native American artist who are the few remaining descendants of Little Chief Henry KaHeGa of the pigeon clan division of the Ioway tribe. With the death of Little Chief Henry, the peace maker pigeon clan was absorbed into the other clans. A few years after his death, Martha, the last passenger pigeon and clan mascot, died as well, bringing the species to extinction. In honor of these ancestors, we donate 25% of our profit toward art education in aspiring Native Artist. This picture of Henry in his regalia and Civil War medal is from Smithsonian archives.

Guest Artist Cindy Bruce Master potter
Although Cindy’s family ties are of the Apache nation, she is deep rooted in the Appalachian arts. Her affinity to the spiritual energy of the Appalachian Ugly Face Jugs is evident in this beautiful double sided pitcher. One side is a peaceful blue eyed feminine energy and the opposite side is a fierce masculine spirit. This extra large jug took over 40 hours to hand build with speckled clay and custom glazes. $3000.
