Rudy Willie

Rudy’s Story

Rudy Willie was born in 1965 in Albuquerque, New Mexico and raised in Canoncito. He learned silversmithing from his brother, Lonnie Willie, around 1982. He and his wife, Happy Piasso, are a team. Rudy Willie sometimes signs his own name to his pieces, but both artists have been known to use the "H. Piaso" stamp on their jewelry.
