As you may have figured, I’ve been absent again here. Been a busy time here in my world. I’ve been updating my CV and other works for another opportunity and I have works in the Erie Art Museum (beaded face mask); Burchfield Art and Nature Center (Photography – She Realizes); the Springville Center for the Arts (various baskets/beadwork) and had made a donation to the Rochester Contemporary Art Center for their 6x6x2023 campaign!
I’ve had a few trips and a few demonstrations and still they keep coming…lol. I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t enjoy it! So, I’m trying to keep doing the art and this gets by the way side. So, if you get a chance to follow me on instagram put my handle in penelope.minner and you will see the immediate updates.
Otherwise, I’m going to keep on keeping on and hope this website doesn’t fail on me and vice versa. I try. Got to get back to the other works chore. But I will be at the Canadea Field Days on July 1 in Houghton, NY doing a demonstration and at the Seneca Joe Curry Pow Wow under the Seneca Iroquois National Museum Cultural Tent doing a demo as well. Here’s a little cutie I made at Shenandoah Creates! loved my time there.
Busy summer ahead. Got to get to it. Enjoy!
Hello. Distinctly remember visiting the Cornplanter village as a small boy and buying baskets from an ancient lady (Gordon?). We always bought cornhusk dolls and bows from Sherman Redeye. My father and his brother-in-law were good friends with all of those folks. I wanted to buy a basket for my niece in England. She is fascinated with Native Americans.
Hi Patrick,
Those were before my days. My family did live across from the Stockade down by Coldspring before the Dam. I was
born after the relocation in Steamburg in 1966. I do have a few baskets, small ones more so than previously since
the Emerald Ash Borer has descimated the ash trees across Indian Country. Those names are not ones I am familiar with
perhaps someone older than myself. Sorry. I am of no help. Perhaps the archives or at the Seneca Iroquois National Museum could
look up those name for you. I make both dolls and baskets. Thank you for your interest.
