From a young age, I was drawn to intricate design, starting with traditional beadwork taught by my N'lakapamux Aunty. As my creativity flourished, I became fascinated with wire and gemstones. Embracing the challenges of working with malleable wire, I expertly hammer, drill, and bend it to create earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. I take pride in pushing the limits of imagination by crafting unique designs that incorporate stones without any soldering, showcasing my artistic vision.
