THE ARTISAN:CHARLES BIRD
30 Year old Charles is a Kewa Puebloan artist whose determined to stand apart from the rest. Having been inspired by his numerous award winning mother "Jolene Bird", who Charles works very closely with to this day, you might say that Charles is a "Non-Conformist" when it comes to doing things his own way, which are clearly witnessed in his jewelry. Being blessed with an artistic eye for design, his designs can be somewhat abstract & refuses to do the same thing, the same 'ol way. He loves doing asymmetrical designs, that are what many would consider 'mismatched', but this is the signature look that has his name attached & loves creating pieces this way!
When he's not grinding & shaping stones & shells to enter into shows, he spends time practicing Jiu Jitsu, which he has earned not only 2 silver metals, but has honorably taken home the gold metal award as well!
What you'll get from Charles is traditional Puebloan work that has been passed on from generation to generation, but with a contemporary feel.
