Y’all, I’m sooooo excited and happy!!
I have received an email from Cherokee Nation advising that CNB has selected my creation, “MINIATURE SEVEN CLANS” gourd mask set for purchase and it will be displayed in our new Cherokee Nation Hospital in Tahlequah!!!! The individual masks are created from “Egg Gourds”, a unique gourd variety which, at maturity is only about the size of a chicken egg. Each mask depicts one of the Seven Clans of the Cherokee Nation. I’m feeling so honored to have my work selected for such a grand location. I hope you’ll enjoy seeing them first-hand. It was difficult to get a good photo because the glass covering produced reflections. Wado! to those who made this opportunity possible.

These particular symbols of the Cherokee syllabary are extra beautiful….Merry Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I want to sincerely thank each one of you for generously supporting my art business! The year 2025 has been so kind to me and I’m looking forward to “arting” throughout the New Year. Having you visit my studio…. whether you shopped or simply sat and helped me solve (or create) our worlds problems is what keeps me happy. I look forward to precious time with you again in 2026! Jesus is the reason for the season! ❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚
