A rt Exhibit.

K alam a w o n th e Ju d g e s
C hoice Award for her w ork,
“My H eart and Soul,” a beaded
collage with feathers on a baby
board.
K alam a, w h o w o rk s at
KWSO, said the inspiration for
the horse-and-man design cam e
from her father Bobby Kalama.
“H e showed me this bond,” she
said.
“After the men and the horses
I felt the need to bring Celilo
alive in my work,” she said.
“I thought o f the birth o f my
new grandson Carver Kennedy,
that gave me the lone gaffer
along the side o f the river and
th e g r a n d fa th e r s w a tc h in g
him.”
About her beading, Kalama
said, “As I tacked down every
two beads, my thoughts held my
g re a t g ra n d m o th e r Ju lia
Whitewolf, and great grandfa
ther Simon Stevens w ho had
been blind.
“Simon inspired me to use
beads in the design where he
may have been able to feel the
design rather than see it.
“All my family from Richard
Halfmoon to Gib Kalama held
my imagination.”
Kalama also has beaded re
galia items (example at right),
featuring hummingbird designs,
on display at the exhibit.
