Maggie Glover is a multi-passionate creative based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Waleia is Maggie’s Cherokee name, meaning “pretty flower”. She finds a lot of creative inspiration from her Cherokee lineage and her grandmother who taught her how to bead. Beading is medicine - a meditative experience that connects her to her roots. She weaves positive energy into each piece, creating with the intention that her beadwork will lift the spirit of whoever wears her work- giving them a supportive, healing energy they can carry throughout their day.

“I believe the energy we infuse into our art holds a lot of power. When I create art that a person is going to wear, I want the energy that is woven into each piece to hold something supportive and healing. After I create new beadwork I cleanse it with herbal smoke and infuse with reiki and a little prayer to whoever will end up receiving the earrings. When someone wears my beadwork I want it to lift their spirits, and bring a really positive feeling they can carry through their day.”
