Artist-in-Residence Holly Young

Holly Young, a full-time artist from Standing Rock, joins us at the Center of the West July 10–14, 9 a.m.–3 p.m. each day to demonstrate the use of her beadwork technique while chatting with visitors.

Holly says, “As a Dakota artist, my work embodies the love, patience, resiliency, and beauty of my ancestors’ legacies and the land that has provided since time immemorial. I use the traditional styles of Dakota beadwork, quillwork, and ledger art to be a seed from which my vision grows.”
