Hi everyone and thank you for taking the time to get to know a little bit about me!

My family and I currently live on the unceded traditional territory of the Ligwiłda'xw people; the We Wai Kai, Wei Wai Kum, Kwiakah First Nations.

I am a mom of 3; 2 boys and a girl, the grandmother of 2. My life is full, as are my hands!

I am a beader. I started out doing very traditional style fringe earrings, but recently moved on to making and designing my own patterns, including realistic wild life, wearable art, and animals that represent various totems and clans.

Although my designs and colours are no longer traditional, I continue to practice the ways as I learned them. I only bead with a happy and peaceful heart, I never tie a knot in my work, and I acknowledge that only the creator is perfect by leaving an odd bead colour rather than replacing it with the correct one.

My family has a small studio at our home where we sell our handmade artwork. Alongside my beadwork, we also have an array of blown glass and beaded treasures.

We welcome people to the studio by appointment. Please email me for any inquires!
