Valerie Hector Portrait of the Artist 2022

I’m a bead artist at heart…and a scholar of beadwork history. I’ve followed these two paths for 30+

years. Each teaches me about the other and makes me want to learn more.

In 2023, I added a third path that I love: creating videos for my YouTube channel, “Valerie Hector Beading Globally.” I offer beading tutorials, artifact appreciations, and interviews with other beading artists. The learning curve has been challenging - but rewarding. To my surprise, making videos has been just as fulfilling as creating in the ways I mentioned above.
