Gisela Hoffmann, Würzburg, Germany
Description
silver, coral (7 pieces), stamped signature (depicting a hogan, the traditional home of the Diné).
Jackson worked for 20 years as an engineer for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, until he had to reorientate himself professionally after a serious accident in 1985. As an accomplished silversmith he devoted himself from now on the production of jewelry.
Dan had learned silversmithing from his father, John Nez Begay, who worked as a silversmith for over 80 years. His mother, Bernice Charlie, was a weaver and inspired Dan to his typical “rug pattern” etchings in silver and gold.
Dan consistently collects awards and accolades at juried art shows (Gallup Inter-Tribal Ceremonial, Window Rock Arizona Tribal Fair, New Mexico and Arizona State Fairs etc.)
