Kajsa is a Two Spirit multimedia artist, primarily focused on beadwork, and learning other traditional Lakota arts. They first learned to bead at 15, and started to bead regularly at 19. They were raised in a creative family, with a multimedia artist for a mother, and several extremely talented sewists and fiber artists in their family, including both their grandmothers, and their inala (aunt). Kajsa spent their childhood in the traditional territory of the Walla Walla, Cayuse, Umatilla, and Palouse Nations, and was extremely impacted and inspired by the nature and culture of the area. As a second gen urban Native, and being of swedish/Lakota heritage, Kajsa uses their beadwork as one way to maintain their connection to their Lakota culture, as well as connect with their local urban Native community.
