Travis Teller: He is from Lukachuhai Arizona, which is a small town located in the middle of the Navajo reservation, near the four corners area. He has been making jewelry since 2103. He has had many mentors in his life but has developed his own style and technique that resembles the original pieces made by the first Navajo silversmiths.
