I’m Tsilhqot’in from Tsideldel, BC, live in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang. Beading serves as the bridge that connects me, a visible Two-Spirit Artist, to my culture, the public eye, and community. Initially focused on perfecting the Fringe earrings, eventually developed my own techniques over the years and now share this knowledge through workshops. Out of this experience I’ve merged Fringe earrings and Fur, making Fur Drops. They (Fur Drops) were featured in Caroline Monnet’s film “Bootlegger” I was commissioned to make body jewelry for Emily Monnet’s “Marguerite: Le Fue show” Have done markets in Vancouver, including Bill Reid Gallery & Vancouver Indigenous Fashion Week. Now have stock available monthly in Manitobah’s Indigenous Market!
