TRUNK SHOW:

Jewelry by Blackfoot Nation artist Twana Scott

Through October 31 , 2009

W H A T
Blackfoot Nation Artist Twana Scott began NiziTapi designs five years ago as a way of highlighting the raw beauty of turquoise. She utilizes Sleeping Beauty turquoise slabs wrapped with sterling silver wires and organic silver forms. Each piece is entirely hand wrought without the aid of any machinery. She will be presenting several lines of jewelry, each featuring a different material including turquoise, glass, crystal and leather. Twana will be in the gallery for First Thursday and will give an artist talk on Saturday. Come meet this infectious and enthusiastic young designer.

Twana Scott was born in Portland, spent most of her childhood in Anchorage and her teen years in Tucson. From Alaska to Arizona, these extremes of cultural and environmental surroundings have greatly influenced her work. She began making stained glass jewelry under the direction of C. Jackson and worked with him in Chicago for three years. Twana also draws from her diverse cultural background of Blackfoot, African American and Swedish ancestry.
