 Ca'Win
- Jimmy Calabaza is one of the finest turquoise heishi makers alive today.
He is featured in many publications and has won numerous awards for his
beautiful jewelry. Ca'Win is also a farmer, he has several fields that
he tends to, and says sometimes that is where he draws his inspiration
from. His designs and methods are sometimes dreamed up while sitting in
the tractor or opening the irrigation ditch to the fields. Born and raised
on the Santo Domingo Pueblo in New Mexico, Ca'Win is also very active
in the community. |

| McDavis Otero was born in 1974 in Torreon, New Mexico, which is located on the Navajo Reservation. From that day on, his life has been built around a family with a long line of silversmiths. His grandfather and father are both silversmiths along with many other family members who also carry on the traditional craft making. "Now I've learned how to give more respect to my jewelry and how it makes me feel about life, it's purity and rewards. It helps me to live strong in my mind, body and spirit: My jewelry is who I am" |
