MEET THE ARTIST:

29 year old Navajo artisan SHAMENIKA WILLIE shares her blood lines with one of the industries most recognizable Navajo names--The "Willie's".. Melissa Willie (see cuff listings) is Shamenika's mother & Ronnie,Lonnie,Rudy, Juan Willie happen to be Shamenika's uncle's. Cooper, Tawney & Dakota Willie are just a few of her cousins,but there are MANY more! It is however, Shamenika's mother Melissa who taught the ropes of metalsmithing to not only her, but to Shamenika's younger brother Micah.There's not too many in this family who don't make jewelry & not too many who aren't good if not excellent, at what they do.. This whole family has made a reputable name off their gifted talents..(All these names can be found throughout my website)
