Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Wilma Hunter-Pine

I am a self-taught artist living in Canyon De Chelly is inspired by the rock art images and the canyon. I like working with storytellers and fabrication style designs. Stories are put on the inside of the bracelets which requires an overlay and stamping. It is a delicate process when soldering, the work is then completed on the outer side with either fabrication and/or stone work. Reversible story pendants are stories depicting Navajo families with everyday life/chores. The work on the opposite side is different so that each piece is unique to the collector or owner of the art work.
