Marc Bilagody was born in 1972 to the Sun Clan. He was raised in Kykotsmovi on Second Mesa, Arizona.

He has been carving for more than fifteen years. He carves dolls based on Kachinas that he’s personally observed. He likes to use somewhat brighter colors than other carvers, and more fabrics, leathers, and shells. He often carves late at night while his three young children are in bed.
