Terra has plans to expand her love for beading to become a full time artist. She has a goal of preserving the historic designs and elements by incorporating them in contemporary pieces. Her items are 100% Lakota made by her hands only. Promoting Native businesses she encourages people to BUY NATIVE, support local and Native artist by buying from them directly.
