I began working with glass in 1982, but it wasn’t until I integrated Tlingit designs from my Eagle moiety and Killer Whale clan that my art gained deeper meaning. Drawing from my heritage, I merge ancestral storytelling with a modern medium, giving voice to my culture. Over time, my mastery of glassblowing and Tlingit formline design has evolved, deepening my understanding of both my ancestral roots and my chosen craft. My work challenges the notion that Native artists must only use traditional materials. By embracing glass as a storytelling medium, I seek to affirm our presence and identity, reinforcing that Indigenous cultures are dynamic, evolving, and rooted in resilience.
