Marcus Amerman (Choctaw, b. 1969) is widely recognized for his incredible pictorial beadwork, which seamlessly blends Native beadwork techniques with Western pop culture imagery. Amerman learned to bead from his family and refined his style and practice through studies at Whitman College and the Institute of American Indian Arts. While Amerman is also a practicing painter, fashion designer, sculptor, and performance artist, his beadwork has propelled him to international recognition. His work is often provocative or politically charged with a powerful undercurrent of social commentary. His works range from honorific depictions of historic Native leaders, often juxtaposed with contemporary settings or iconography, to utterly pop-cultural such as his series of beaded bracelets adorned with the images of Superwoman or Agents Scully and Mulder from the X-Files.
