My theme is Medicine. Through my art, I seek to honour the traditional practices and knowledge of my ancestors, while also creating a contemporary expression of their wisdom. Each piece is hand-crafted with care and attention to detail. Each piece of jewellery I design and create is imbued with a sense of sacredness and power from the medicine it represents. From the sweet grass used in smudging ceremonies to the healing properties of cedar and sage, these natural substances hold a deep spiritual significance just like our stories in indigenous cultures.
