Beadwork – why? I love beading. What – it signifies a tradition going back to the turn of the century. How – with as many colors, shapes, and sizes of beads on velvet, belt or leather as I can get. Why – important to keep our culture alive and try to make the best piece I can. Painting – I love the night sky, the stars, various shapes and consultations found in them. Hard not to see the endless imagination of the creator.
