"The perpetuation of the legacy of our Chamoru ancestors is my motivation in creating three-dimensional Chamoru body ornamentation.
I carve aboriginal Chamoru body ornamentation indigenous to the Mariana Islands, namely Sinahi Amulets (Giant Clam Shell/Hima) and Bracelets and Spondylus Shell Amulets. Mediums consist of; tridacna gigas - giant clam shell, spondylus oyster shell, shell, bone and wood.
