What do you create? How did you get started and what motivated you to start?
I create beaded jewelry and other objects. I started during the beginning of Covid under the tutelage of my neighbor who has been doing native beaded art for a very long time and she has taught me and encouraged me to try diffferent things. It was a wonderful creative past time which has turned into an obsession to create more interesting designs.
