As an artist with both European and Native American ancestry, I found I could embrace both worlds through a palette of beads. I am immersed in the history of beads and the migration of techniques through time and cultures. My bead inlay work combines old world and new world bead inlay methods and design. Along with the Wixarika [Huichol] style of application technique, my work utilizes sacred geometry that transcends time and culture. From my European roots I utilize the ancient guild method of teaching. I am self taught.

“Old craft methods, apprenticeship and master classes survived the Industrial Revolution and remain the most effective methods of professional training in the Arts.” - What are the Arts?, Compiler Press, Harry A. Hillman Chartran January 24, 2002.
