MEET THE MAKER
hi, i'm mimi
I'm the creative over here at Braided River Beadwork. I live in the mountains of Bozeman, Montana and slow craft every piece you see here by hand. I spend all my best moments running rivers, running trails, and exploring what it means to be me in the wild west.
My art is inspired by the mountains, rivers, and experiences I have here.
my goal: create something every day.
Slowly i've started weaving together a little life for myself from the latest wreckage. These pieces pay homage to the wildness of the wilderness here in Montana.
A place where I learned that it is not courage or fear- but fear AND courage. Where feeling empowered and your knees knocking together are not mutually exclusive. And where screaming at the top of your lungs and wearing glitter on your face does not make you girly- just gritty.
These landscapes shaped my life in a way i could have never imagined or dreamed up if i had a million lifetimes to do it.
