Tasha Tetpon Inupiaq and Athabaskan Alaskan Native

Artist bio: “Crafted with passion, worn with pride.” Through my artwork in Moongrove beads I am proud to be able to connect to my heritage and history. My name is Tasha Tetpon. I'm an Alaska Native; Half Inupiaq and half Athabaskan. I was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. My father, Mark Tetpon, inspired me to get more involved with my culture and heritage by learning how to bead and work with walrus ivory and whale baleen as it is used in a lot of our traditional regalia and in art form. I'm looking forward to carry on our heritage and culture through my artwork. My hope is that my artwork inspires individuality and creative expression.
