Teyo has been carving since 2006. She represents one of a very small number of female Haudenosaunee stone carvers. She is enamored by the extractive nature of stone, despite its irreversibility.
The subjects of Teyo’s work include the Mohawk clan animals (bear, wolf, and turtle) and singular more abstract pieces that centre around Indigenous women and the challenges they face.
In addition to her sculptures, she makes jewellery and expresses in painting, printmaking, and fashion design.
Teyo holds degrees in Native Studies from Trent University and in Art Foundations from White Mountain Academy of the Arts.
