KFrancisBrand

Karen Francis, the creative force behind K.Francisbrand, has always been captivated by the beauty of her culture.  She learned the art of sewing and beading from her mother, Martha Cook, who learned it from her mother, Rose (Peters) Garrow. Continuing a family tradition, Karen's daughters have also learned the craft of beadwork.  Karen accepted the challenge of creating her daughters' pow wow regalia and graduation outfits, allowing her to connect deeply with the Mohawk heritage. A personal highlight for Karen was her recent participation in the Seneca Fashion Show, which allowed her to showcase her cultural pride and creativity.  She looks forward to contributing to Indigenous fashion through her designs and artistic expression.
