“I make accessories such as earrings, bracelets, necklaces and belts with a significant nod to my Assiniboine roots. I utilize copper, beads, porcupine quills, mirrors, and leather as my main materials for all of my work. I utilize copper for my findings and I create my own copper pieces. Some of the copper pieces are etched in the style of Intaglio printmaking with images that are important to me or remind me of home.”
