I come from a line of singers and speakers and MC’s. My mother’s family comes from ba’adah another one of makahs 5 villages. I began as a Carver. Masks, paddles rattles and ceremonial headdress masks. In 2002 i began 2 dimensional work and began a company NATIVES WEAR, silk screened clothing with native designs. At the same time i started working with silver gold and copper. I have made vests, dance shawls and traditional dance gear. Made huge murals and carved totem poles as well as tiny masks and mini pieces. Even as an instructor i have never stopped being a student. Learning never ceases.
