Tama
Swain-Salomon is an off-the-loom seed bead weaver known
for creating non-traditional jewelry shapes and pushing the
boundaries of color exploration. After injuring and losing use
of both of their hands for over three years, they began beading when
a friend recommended he try it as part of his hand
rehabilitation therapy. Oncethey started, Tama was hooked. In all of his pieces, Tama integrates over 30 years of study in multiple fields, including graphic design, painting, as well as apprenticeships with several medicine men and women, exploring sacred geometry and chromotherapy. Tama's art has been featured in several publications and exhibits, including Bead & Button (October 2018, June 2019), Style Magazine, Facet Jewelry, Palos Verdes Arts Center, Conejo Valley Art Museum Show, and California Lutheran University, to name a few. Recently, Toho Beads also invited them to be a featured artist for their 2019 Toho Bead Challenge. The piece Tama designed for them is currently touring the United States and will continue through Europe before being brought to Japan in 2020 to be added to the Toho Museum’s exhibition. Tama has won several awards for their work including the People’s Choice Award for Bead Dreams 2018 and Juror’s Selection at Placer Artists Studio Tour. |
