As a beadwork artist, my craft is an exploration of identity, culture, and the intersection of past and present. Each bead I stitch tells a story—whether personal, cultural, or communal. My work draws inspiration from both Native American traditions and contemporary life, seeking to merge timeless techniques with modern expression.Beadwork is more than just an art form to me; it is a medium for connection and reflection. I approach each piece with intention, allowing the beads to guide me as I build intricate patterns that speak to the complexities of life, heritage, and personal narrative. Every design is a reflection of my deep respect for the materials I work with and the traditions they represent.Through my beadwork, I aim to preserve and celebrate the beauty of cultural expression while embracing innovation and individuality. My art serves as both an homage to my roots and a testament to the power of self-expression.
