I absolutely love creating patterns to bead, specifically onto hat brims. I also enjoy flat stitching different designs to create earrings.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from every day life. I have taken color inspiration from oil slicks on pave to flowers I see come up in ND in the spring and summer. I love seeing fellow bead work artists, indigenous artists specifically, create stunning color palettes.
What would you do with $25,000?$25,000 would honestly be life changing. I have been dreaming up ways of opening a local store front. That store front would have local artists work in any media form on display and would also be a cat adoption site because far too many cats are put down in the area and could instead have a home until they find their chosen family.
