Bernard has long been recognized as a master silversmith and his work is easily recognized by his unique, bold and crisp designs, the heavy weight silver he uses,
and the precise matting (texturing) he tools into the negative areas of his designs. He has developed the design elements he uses on his jewelry over the years; they are symbolic of Hopi beliefs,
history, and culture. Bernard is a wonderful story teller and there is nothing more enjoyable and intriguing than listening to him explain the stories behind his designs. Many examples of his
work can be viewed in museums from California to New York and can also be seen in numerous publications.
