Self-taught beadworker Ann Quis Quis (Comanche and San Pasqual) aims to create new heirloom bodies of work to enhance her family and community collections.
This inspiration comes from revitalizing cultural and artistic practices in direct action to family history with boarding/residential schools, assimilation, and acculturation. She was born in Escondido, California. Based in Lawton, Oklahoma, she creates beadwork, quillwork, traditional and contemporary art.
Quis Quis exhibits and markets her award-winning art work around the country, such as the Heard and Eiteljorg Indian Art Markets.
