About Me

My photo
Finished my bachelors degree in Art Practices August of 2012 and a masters degree in Educational Leadership and Policy with a specialization in Post Secondary Adult and Continuing Education in 2014. Professionally I'm interested in creating culturally responsive curriculum for Native American/Alaska Native youth and adults in formal and non-formal learning environments. I love the intersection of art, learning/teaching, and Indigenous cultures and ways of knowing. In my creative process I'm interested in using iconic Native American images or objects in different ways to illustrate political or historical themes, truths (as I see them), and experiences. I also love to use different art mediums to capture the people and world around me. I enjoy making art with friends and giving away art is a way for me to show my love and gratitude to others.

Subtractive Drawing

Still Life
Subtractive Drawing Practice
Compressed Charcoal and an eraser
1/25/09

I really like subtractive drawing. You put heavy layers of compressed charcoal on your paper and then use an eraser to show different values. The lighter the value the more charcoal erased. It's kind of like drawing backwards. I enjoyed making the shadows. Also when you do this type of drawing you really start to notice the subtle changes in light and dark.

I have to make a subtractive self-portrait this weekend which should be interesting.
