“I didn't always love florals. It wasn't until I learned to love myself that I learned to love the flowers. Like poetry–beadwork is the ultimate Indigenous form of personal expression. This work represents my love for the land, the medicines, and plant life. Beadwork is special. It is healing. It is love.”
