Artist Bio
My parents were very artistic
,
traditional
craftspeople of their time.
My father, Lester Jimerson was a traditional wood carver and mask maker. He made horn rattles and turtle rattles and traditional Seneca headdresses
,
while my mother, Hazel would make traditional cornhusk dolls, cornhusk mats and salt bottles. They both have works in the Smithsonian Institute collections
.
Traditional arts and crafts were commonplace in our household. I learned much from watching them. I also learned a lot about basket making from the cousin, Midge Dean Stock. I feel that through my talents I am able to share their spirit with others to pass on to the next generation and to those who are willing to learn.
Residing on the Allegany Reservation in Western New York. I have done demonstrations for the
Iroquois Indian Museum
, the
Seneca Nation
(various departments),
SUNY Fredonia
,
Fenimore Art Museum
, and the
National Museum of the American Indian Smithsonian in NYC
. In 2019, three of my art pieces were acquired for the National Museum of the American Indians permanent collection, a life long dream.
