Charlene Reano-Kewa (Santo Domingo)

Born at San Felipe pueblo, she married into the Reano family of Santo Domingo Pueblo, well known for their inlay work. Charlene's style of inlaid earrings and bracelets dates back to pre-historic Anasazi times. Remarkable earrings and pendants have been unearthed from ancient dwellings--extraordinary pieces made by patient hands a thousand years ago, or more.

Charlene says, "My inspiration stems from the jewelry worn during the traditional dances." Her intricate mosaic work has been recognized with ribbons and awards at Eight Northern Pueblo Show and the prestigious Santa Fe Indian Market, among others. Her work is highly collectible.
