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.

Winter Class: Collections

Winter term I took a credit by arrangement art studio class with Wendy Red Star exploring the intersection of objects, collections, and cur ration. I had several different assignments to do over the course of the term and here are a few of my highlights. All the objects in these photos were taken at local thrift stores See the wording below the image for more information. 

All images were taken with my iPhone.




Manifest Destiny
These Avon perfume bottles were at a local thrift store and I just had to set up an area and photograph them. I actually cleared off a small table, placed a couple game boxes towards the back, and used a white table cloth draped over the boxes as a background.
