Artist Statement

When I was a girl my Kookum would often gift us with her beaded hairpieces. I was too young to learn beadwork with her which would have been amazing, however I was determined to teach myself. This was my first attempt to make a hair piece inspired by Kookum, whose favourite color was blue.
