Kathleen Hays belongs to the Caddo Nation. She is a daughter, sister, wife, and mom. Even though she was surrounded by beautiful family beadwork growing up, she is self-taught. This has allowed her to find her own voice, using a blend of Caddo motifs and contemporary jewelry designs. In addition to creating her own art, Kathleen finds a lot of joy from teaching her 7-year-old son to bead and carry on the family tradition. You can find Creating Caddo jewelry on Etsy and at market and antique mall booths in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. She lives in Rock Hill, SC with her husband and son.
