Beadwork that inspires
My name is Jessica Gokey. I live on the Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation in Hayward Wisconsin. I have been beading for over ten years and have currents works of beadwork art in local art galleries and have been commissioned to make pieces of beadwork for people. I work on my beadwork fulltime to keep the tradition alive and help sustain my family. My plan is to bring community members together to teach the importance of Native Traditions and to keep the art of traditional beadwork alive.
