Portfolio Example & Artist Statement

The primary materials I use for my artwork are sterling silver, with occasional use of gold and stones. My grandfather, Kenneth Begay, taught me Navajo silversmithing techniques which I use to create my pieces. These traditional techniques include handmade stamp work, silver overlay, silver fabrication, and tufa casting.
