TRIBAL AFFILIATION: Wampanoag
MEDIUM: Jewelry
ARTIST STATEMENT
I think about my work as bringing 12,000 + years of Wampanoag traditions into unique contemporary fashion for all to enjoy.
My surroundings and the people in my community inspire my work. I frequently use natural mediums like deer (antler/bone, hair, and leather), plant fibers, wampum, and other shell jewelry, in addition to glass beads, paints, and metals. Each piece is one of a kind and handmade with the love and skill inherited from my ancestors, teachers, and the land.
