Beadwork is a deeply centering and restorative practice for her. One that binds her to land, lineage, and living community. The relationships that form around cultural arts continue to shape her work through fierce support, shared knowledge, and joyful collaboration.
Through her practice, she works to expand understanding of Native-made beadwork and the time, precision, and prayer held in every stitch. She affirms beadwork as luxury, an art form worthy of respect, proper compensation, and reverence. Not only within Native communities, but among all who choose to wear it.
