I am an enrolled member of the Meskwaki Nation from Tama Iowa. Born and raised in Denver, I now live in Iowa. I am self-taught in all manners of beadwork and traditional garment construction and I have been actively producing beadwork for 45 years. I am also a doll maker, painter and printmaker. I have shown my work all over the United States. I currently work as a Conservationist for the Meskwaki Nation at the Meskaki Cultural Center and Museum in Tama Iowa.
