Artist Story
I have been creating beaded earrings and learning traditional arts through workshops over many years. I am always eager to learn and willing to share what I have learned with others as well. We continue to heal through art and creativity. Arts brings people and cultures together, to share experiences and history. I create art because I want to share my diverse cultures with people who appreciate my work. There has been a resurgence of appreciation for traditional art so as an artist, it's important to be part of that. When I create art, I put positive thoughts and love into each piece. My energy will be carried in my designs. I want it to travel in this world with good vibes.
