Christopher Sweet
This artist is (Ho-Chunk/Ojibwe) from south central Wisconsin, studied at the Institute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe, N.M.

“Art was a gift given, but not pursued. Experiencing the pain of losing two daughters put me in a bad place, but a woman I now proudly call my wife came in to my life, helped heal me and reunite me with my gift of art. Now I focus all my creative energies toward unity and healing." -- Christopher Sweet

Betty Willems
"My goal is to promote the Oneida Nation in Wisconsin and Oneida Women by showing and exhibiting Iroquois Raised Beadwork, and by entering Native American juried beadwork competitions. I have received recognition ribbons and awards from nationally recognized art shows such as the Woodland Indian Art Show and Market, Cherokee Art Market, Eiteljorg Museum, the Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair and Market, and the International Iroquois Raised Beadwork Conference in Canada.

Traveling to Native Art Shows has been a gift, giving me new friends, new experiences and new ideas. I have learned business techniques from more experienced artists, marketing tips and business savvy. I’ve gotten critiques on my art that have proven invaluable.

Picture
I’ve been blessed to be able to get art work from the best known artists in the country and to have my art appreciated by some of the great Native American art collectors. I have shared many stories about our tribe and our myths. I am helping to revive Iroquois Raised Beadwork, it was almost lost over the years, and is making a slow comeback in Oneida, Wisconsin." - Betty Willems

Richard J. Gonzalez
Richard is a member of the Iroquois Confederation, Oneida Tribe, and Turtle Clan. His Oneida name is "Loliwyantati" which means, "He Who Brings the Good Word." Woven into each basket are symbols of his Iroquois culture. The antler represents Leadership, as a sachem, or chief, wore antlers in his headdress as a symbol of his position. The basket is round representing the Circle of Life. Purple, if used, connotes Peace and each basket contains a turtle as Native Americans refer to Mother Earth as Turtle Island.




Picture
Each basket is "signed" with a metallic turtle. While being a member of the Iroquois, Oneida Tribe, the artist is, also, a member of the Turtle Clan. The turtle is selected to be the artistic signature of the artist.

Neva Cahill
Neva is Oneida and has been beading since childhood. She began doing raised beading when she was taught by Loretta Webster and a few other wonderful beaders in the community. Neva also does loom beadwork, peyote stitch and various other beading techniques. She raised in the south and learned a lot of my beading from family down there but decided to come to Oneida. Coming here she found her family and has been welcomed and still learning about The Oneida ways.

William (Bill) Brien
Bill is a Lakota, Dakota, Chippewa, Metís artist currently residing in Bismarck, ND since 2012. Bill found his love and passion for art around 2016 because of his late wife, Geri, who fought breast cancer for 4 years. Bill began presenting his work to the public in 2018.
​
Bill's artwork is filled with Native American imagery centered around family and Native womanhood. Bill's wife, Geri was a strong Lakota woman who embodied the warrior spirit. Much of Bill's work tells a story of hope, family and culture. Currently Bill has around 48 art pieces with stories available through his website.
