More recently, Debra has discovered the art of basketry and has immersed herself in weaving and coiling as a full-time hobby. Morningstar's inspiration for basket-making comes from her Oneida great-grandmother, an accomplished Black Ash basket weaver on the Oneida reservation. Debra discovered the joy of basketry later in life and is proud to say she is a self-taught artist, often learning from the best.
