Oklahoma Thirty-Nine

Jennifer Reeder (Caddo Nation) is a contemporary beadwork artist based in Oklahoma whose work bridges traditional Southeastern design with modern Native fashion. Inspired by Caddo artistic traditions, she creates hand-stitched beadwork emphasizing symmetry, precision, and layered color. Working with glass seed beads, shell, bone, crystal, and metal, Reeder transforms Southeastern and Caddo motifs into contemporary statement jewelry. Her collections blend traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques, including laser-cut acrylic and engraved wood, creating lightweight, distinctive pieces that honor tribal culture while embracing a contemporary Native aesthetic. Each piece reflects her commitment to preserving tradition through innovative, wearable art.
