My serious interest in Native American culture and art began in college. But, long before that I was fascinated by the turquoise jewelry worn by my mother, and the Indian lore shared by my uncle, during visits to his home. When my brother attended college in Arizona, I made a trip from Chicago to Tucson for a visit.
It was during that trip that my life changed course. I had an "aha" moment, and realized that rather than social work, I wanted to work with native peoples, and surround myself with artwork created by native artists. For 34 years I have traveled to reservations around the country studying Indian art, and purchasing authentic Indian goods.

A note from Janet
Report
In this culture there is no separation between art, the home, family, friends and spirituality. Historically items were not made as art, but were made to be used, worn and shared. What I love is that they were also made to be beautiful and to last. This concept is inspirational and when the items are placed in their historical context, they tell a story of spirit and survival.
