The Artist Ya'-a't'-e'e'h (Hello). My name is Amelia. I am Dine' (Navajo) and am of the Bitterwater (todich' iinnii) Clan, born for the Mud (hast lish nii) Clan. Artist Statement
My traditional Navajo background surfaces in
all aspects of my jewelry design. A complete shift from traditional
Navajo silversmith design to modern design will never happen for me.
The Navajo culture is a powerful part of my life and I want parts of
it to always surface in my designs. I have managed to combine my
traditional ways with contemporary jewelry techniques. Education

in Art Education (1997)
