Jewelry + Pottery

My Art, this has long been a form of resistance. From the silver coins my ancestors would melt down to make jewelry (to the point the U.S. government had to remove silver coinage & replace them with paper forms of 10 & 5 cent denominations) but also we believe the pieces made act as a form of protection & was often made with that intention.

Each piece I create is a small representation of me as an artist.
All of the pieces include hand-cut metals, and I in-person select ever piece of turquoise that goes into my art. They are melted & joined, shaped & shaved.

Each piece I've done is an exchange of energy. In my culture, our prayer & intention goes into each piece & acts as a form of protection.

You can commission a piece of my custom jewelry in my online shop.
