MATERIAL/TECHNIQUE:
All of our custom pieces are made from authentic turquoise, coral and other genuine materials supplied by a native-owned business in the southwest. I truly believe in buying and supporting our Native-owned businesses. I believe my custom pieces will not only inspire you, but they will also transform you. I find and use genuine turquoise, coral and other gemstones to craft my necklaces. Some of my necklaces are worn by tribal dignitaries, business leaders, and elected officials. A few of my jewelry - necklaces are displayed at the Heard Museum. I am a semi-retired Engineering/Business Professional with over 20 years of experience in Natural Resources, Power & Energy and Mining. I also do acrylic paint in my spare time. With my background and experiences, I use the resources that available and created artwork that present and old to reflect the ideal leader's persona. In entered my first jury piece at the 100th Gallup Inter-Tribal Ceremonial and placed second in my medium.
