MATERIAL/TECHNIQUE:
My jewelry is always handmade with sterling silver and all natural stones. My work gravitates towards the delicate nature of silversmithing. Coming from a non silversmith family, my techniques vary from traditional tufa casting to contemporary fabrication such as hand sawed Navajo clan words. Learning how to first silversmith from the late Martha Jackson, influenced the delicate process needed to ensure that my story is represented, that our stories are represented. This is what Leading with Fire by Crystal Littleben will ignite.
