オーバーレイワークの得意なナバホ族のアーティスト。繊細かつ正確なオーバーレイによって表現され、ホピ族のオーバーレイとは違った丸みのある個性的なカットは、独特な存在感。気象や植物などのシンボルをモチーフにした作品が多い。1996年にはサンタフェのインディアンマーケットにて、多くの作品の中からベストジュエリー部門で最高の賞を獲得。
He works in gold and silver overlay jewelry since 1975. In 1996, he won a highly coveted first place ribbon in the prestigious Santa Fe Indian Market for a concho belt as well as a Best of Category award for a squash blossom necklace. Steven's work is distinguished by clean, uncluttered designs that appear contemporary yet are traditional in that he uses only the highest quality turquoise set in heavy gauge silver.He has won many awards for his work and his jewelry is shown at finer Native American galleries in New Mexico and Arizona.
