MATERIAL/TECHNIQUE:
The history of humakind always used stone tools to hunt, protection, and everyday life. I started flint knapping 20 years ago and I have created replicas of traditional stone tools here in the puebloan culture and the great southwestern art. I enjoy these crafts and remember that my ancestry holds this same traditional puebloan ways of follow and using such tools. As an artist I incorporate and upkeep the traditional style of jewelry making. I tend to use the technique that is solely used by my family and has been passed down through each generation.
