Charlene is a Westbank First Nation member residing in Northern Alberta with her family. She works from home, both in her crafts and as a stay-at-home mom. The encouragement from her family and their support in her creations mean the world to her. She has always had an interest in gemstones, participating in many workshops to continue her understanding of their healing properties. Working with semi-precious stones re-energize her, and seeing the joy others experience from her work motivate her further.
