Wyoming-based beadwork artist Caitlyn Cox recently celebrated two major milestones in her creative career.
Cox, a Choctaw Nation tribal member, had three of her designs showcased in the 2025 Aya Con Indigenous Reclamation fashion show in October.
Her work is also currently on display at the Denver Art Museum. The featured piece, titled “Mind, Heart, and Soul,” is an intricate beaded sculpture depicting an anatomical heart and brain balanced on a scale, symbolizing the internal equilibrium individuals strive to maintain.
