Ahlazua

I create wearable art with a Modern & Traditional approach. My work represents Ancestral knowledge attained from my Tribes in the Southeastern Woodlands (Mvskoke Creek-Euchee/ Choctaw) and the Southwestern Deserts (Diné). My works are made with Materials & Techniques that have been used in my Tribes for countless Generations. Material used in my jewelry tells a story of trade routes and specific geographic materials important to my people. Incorporating: Shell, Pearls, Carving/Etching Techniques from the Southeast & combined with: Tufa Casting, Silver & Turquoise from the Southwest.
