Portfolio Example & Artist Statement

My work embraces the beauty, strength, and resiliency of Dakota heritage. My beadwork combines elements of classic glamour, contemporary floral patterns, and bold colors. These elements create a unique style I like to call "Powwow glam". This style is for the woman (identifying) who embraces their culture and past yet steps forward fearlessly towards the future. I utilize glass beads, beading thread, and leather in my process.
