Description

As a full-blood Navajo, for 40 years I've been making Native Dolls, beadwork, & Photography. I've integrated my beadwork with my dolls and my photography into beadwork. Using my images & various famous historical images, I bead those into bracelets, necklaces, amulets, and beaded bags. My art has sold at the Smithsonian’s Native American Art Market in Washington D.C., the Eitlejorg Indian Market & Festival in Indianapolis, Indiana and at the Haskell Indian Art Market in Lawrence, Kansas. I have also had my work as a finalist in the Bead & Button magazine’s Annual Jewelry Artistry Competition. I am inspired to create new works of art that capture the beauty of my culture and heritage. I look forward to continuing to share my art with the world and showing the beauty of my culture.

Products: handmade cloth Native dolls, beadwork from photo images or historical images, and photography of Native powwow.
