About the Artist
I have been creating silver jewelry for over 55 years, primarily selling at musical events and attracting many customers. At that time, I also showcased my work at my mother's beauty shop in Tulsa. Early in my career, I participated in an art show when Wilma Mankiller was Chief. I took a break from the 1980s until 2010, but am back at it now and have perfected my craft while enjoying the process.
