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.

Fat Femme Warrior Regalia Art Series

Wearing my Fat Femme Warrior Regalia
2015

This is a project in progress. I've created the Fat Femme War Club and The Fat Femme Breast Plate. As I show the work then I make more pieces. 


This warrior regalia is inspired by: 

Cheyenne Girl in Traditional Regalia 
late 19th Century
I love her so much.
