Betty Tom is a Navajo silversmith known for her dedication to traditional cluster work—one of the most recognizable and technically demanding styles in Navajo jewelry. Born and raised in Thoreau, New Mexico, Betty’s life and artistry are deeply tied to her community, family, and the enduring silversmithing traditions of the Southwest.

Born in Twin Lakes, New Mexico in 1966, Daniel “Sunshine” Reeves was raised within a family of accomplished New Mexico silversmiths. He learned the art of silversmithing at the age of 24 from his older brothers, Gray Reeves and David Reeves—both respected artists in their own right. From this strong familial foundation, Sunshine Reeves went on to become one of the most distinguished and influential Navajo silversmiths in the country.
