Event: Burke Museum Artist Studio Demo

On Saturday, October 17th 2026, from 10am until 5pm, you can find my Artist Demo in the Burke Museum’s Artist Studio, in celebration of Indigenous Day. I’ll be making pairs of my Wabanaki-style Ancestral porcupine quill earrings, some of which will be available for purchase.

Burke Museum Store Installation

In winter of 2025, my Ancestral Quill Jewelry and fine art prints were officially installed in the Burke Museum’s store! This stunning museum, affiliated with the Smithsonian and located at the University of Washington in unceded Si’ahl (Seattle), WA, is incredibly dear to my heart.

With a focus on culture and history, it tends and showcases rich global Indigenous art, textiles, and stories (told by, rather than for, Indigenous peoples); fossils, dinosaurs, and interactive archaeology exhibits; flora, creatures, and organisms; and brilliant visible research laboratories. The museum is a wonderful, vibrant place to experience solo or with family, friends, and community.

Come see my work in person, explore the lovely exhibits, and visit Off The Rez (Seattle’s “first Native owned cafe and food truck") for a bite to eat.
