Hello! My name is Shelby Rowe, and my Chickasaw name is The One Who Survived. I am Chickasaw and from the Red Skunk Clan.
Who I Am
In 2016, I had the incredible honor of being named the Chickasaw Nation Dynamic Woman of the Year. That event changed my life and brought me back home to Oklahoma to be closer to my family and my people.
I am a self-taught Indigenous bead artist specializing in custom beadwork and Native American bead art.
What I Do
I create archive-quality beaded wearable art and wall art, specializing in custom commissioned beaded portraits and designs—transforming ideas into timeless, one-of-a-kind pieces that celebrate personal style, family stories, and my Chickasaw heritage.
