Amelia Joe-Chandler

Amelia Joe-Chandler is the Indian Arts and Crafts Association Artist of the Year for 2006-2007.

Amelia's traditional Diné (Navajo) background is reflected in all aspects of her jewelry creations. Though her work is beautifully contemporary, her designs never completely shift from more traditional Diné designs.

Amelia holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education from New Mexico State University, and a Masters degree in Art Education from Indiana University.

In our opinion, Amelia has beautifully redefined the term "wearing art" as you can see here.
