Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Jimmie Harrison

My work is based on Navajo mythology stories, symbols, landscapes, constellations, yeibeichais, First People, Mother Earth, Father Sky, and Lifeline. Any symbols that require the number 4 that represent directions, seasons, lifelines, emotional being (i.e. spirituality), and the emergence of the four worlds. I make all hand-made sterling silver and 14k gold jewelry that is inlaid with various stones and shells from all over the world. Each piece is designed according to a mythology story. The silver and gold are cut, shaped, and prepared for inlay with stones and shells.
