Welcome to this exhibit of my beadwork which I call Native American contemporary beaded jewelry. I was born at Red Lake reservation in Northern Minnesota and started beading when I was fifteen. In the years since I have developed my own techinique, color combinations and designs. They were inspired by different cultures, nature and people's requests. Glass seed beads are used exclusively in the jewelry shown on this site. For pieces with gemstone focal pieces see the link below.

The glass bead necklace with blue chalcedony cabochon below is the first of several new jewelry pieces I have done using gemstone cabochons for focal pieces. Click on image to see these new pieces.

Click on images below to see beaded jewelry which was added in the Winter and Spring of 2007. Check back to see my new beadwork for the Spring of 2008 which will be added at the end of April.
