I started off by practicing on copper and then actually working with silver. I started at Hopi Crafts and my main teacher was Glenn Lucas. My work has been to a number of shows. Some of my work has won awards from Northern Arizona Museum, Gallup Inter-Tribal Ceremonies and New Mexico State Fair. My work is now marketed throughout the east coast.
Some work is done with stone inlay and some with gold.
Most is done with traditional designs. My work is sought by collectors. I have done some demonstration work. A book is being published soon on the process of making Hopi Overlay jewelry, I have provided techniques and illustrations for this book. I would like to get recognition for my work in the world wide web, and I like the idea of direct marketing.
