Due to covid 19 my Yukon Originals Store in Carcross has had to remain closed but I have moved everything from Carcross to my home and studio in Whitehorse.
My cultural arts studio provides visitors with an opportunity to view and buy my original fine art paintings (starting at $165 Cdn each) as well as my original designed and hand made beaded and polymer clay jewelry (starting at $49 Cdn each). There is also a range of Fine Art Cards ($5 Cdn each), reproductions ($20/$39 Cdn), limited edition prints ($95 Cdn each) and magnets ($4) of my original fine art paintings. There are other souvenir items of Yukon as well that are original to me and phone/laptop/tablet cases designed and made by me..
