CPN Artists: Sue Milburn

Karen (Sue) Milburn is a CPN tribal member and Vieux family descendant who was born in St. Louis, Oklahoma. She has 2 sons, 4 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren. Sue is retired now and enjoys beading to occupy her time. Her inspiration for beading actually came from the Potawatomi Gift Shop's display of beautiful local beadwork, so she started selling to us shortly afterwards. She worked hard to self-teach herself how to bead and her hard work has definitely paid off. You see her passion in her work, and she makes a point to be at every Family Festival.
