I am still working and uploading graphics
so check it out and come back soon.
This site has been a great labor of love for me.
My artwork and writings are a journey of spiritual expression for me
and each reflect a part of who I am.
The Native American within my soul and spirit lives and thrives within
the art,
it is testimony of my past, my present and my future.
We must all remember there is a better way to express ourselves and be
true to our natures.
I believe through the arts this can be accomplished.
All items for sale on this page have all proceeds

"Dream Catchers for Kids."
I have long believed in the power of dreams both
good and bad. I also believe in the
Dream Catcher's ability to ward off
bad dreams. I thought it would be something a child fighting
cancer or any other ailment would believe in as well.
Being in a hospital and sometimes alone at
night with strangers all around,
it could bring peace to a frightened
child fighting sleep.
We all know that rest is part of healing
especially fighting this disease.
So I am making small dream catchers to send to the cancer and children's hospitals in
my area and if time
allows to others through out the country.
It is my
small way to bring comfort to suffering children and to fight cancer and
all children's diseases.
Cancer has touched my family through many generations in all forms along
with other issues.
Though none have been children.
As a mother I can only imagine what a child might suffer.
I will supply the small dream catchers at not charge as a gift of
courage and hope.
Sleep well dear child of hope, and dream free.
Specialty Dream Catchers of Size and Design
An old Indian legend says that
night air is filled with good and bad
dreams. The dream catcher catches the dreams as they go by. The
good dreams know the way and slip through the center hole, then
slide gently down the soft feathers. The bad dreams, not knowing
the way, get caught in the web and perish at first light.
Dream catchers were hung on cradle boards and other places in
the lodge for all to have good dreams.
The
Spirit Shield
Shields are ancient ceremonial tools, providing protection from that
which would harm or
divert one from the good path, bringing strength and healing through
one's power totem,
Spirit Animal and Beings, and Mother Earth's elements.
The Mandela
According to legend the Mandela in the
home symbolizes good luck.
By having a Mandela in the home, it was believed that the Great Spirit
would provide
protection, prosperity, good health and happiness.
Native American Masks
All hand crafted with leather faces and
contrasting beading, feather and pelts.
Depicting Warriors as I imagine they would be.
Medicine Bags
The
Medicine bags are of different color leathers and decorated with natural
stones and beading.
This love of the medicine bag for me started years ago. I
have had my own bag that includes stones,
crystals and keepsakes that are touchstones for me. These bags are larger
than traditional medicine bags.
The
