Beadwork, Hide & Fur Products, Tufting

I’m a Northern Tutchone artist from Selkirk First Nation located in my beautiful home town of Pelly Crossing.

I grew up in Whitehorse my whole life up until I was 19. I was right into coaching, sports, art, and music. As I started to get to know my family I was really fascinated watching them bead. When I was 19 I asked if they can teach me how to bead with the hoops and ever since I’ve been glued to it along with my other art hobbies I have.

I’m so truly grateful to my family to have given this talent over to me as well. I’m able to put my imaginative art into something so creative.
