Inupiaq
Anchorage

As an Iñupiaq carver with roots from Shishmaref, AK, my work is a legacy of my family and our collective heritage. I specialize in inlaid jewelry, meticulously combining ivory and baleen. I am drawn to the technicality and craftsmanship of inlay work. My pieces I create are rooted in Iñupiaq culture, translating aspects and symbols of our people into wearable art that honors our past to the present.
