MATERIAL/TECHNIQUE:
I design and create a blend of traditional pueblo geometric designs with contemporary innovation which makes one of a kind, unique wearable art pieces. My technique is intricate cut out, overlay and inlay techniques in silver and gold done by hand with a jeweler saw. I cut all my natural stones and do my own lapidary stonework. I have entered many competitions and have won awards and ribbons. My collectors look forward to my creations at every market. They remind me about how stunning and different my jewelry is.
