About Me
- Shilo George
- 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.

Self-Portraits
First Selfie
Pinhole Camera
1989, 8th Grade Photography Class
It was such a joy to find this photograph in my mother's boxes of memories. I had forgotten about this photo that I had taken so long ago. Selfies have been an important part of how I understand myself, my connection to my body, my place in the world, and how my body has changed and evolved over my lifetime.

Tradition
This image is an abstraction of teepee if you would see them from above like a bird. Teepee is traditionally taken care of by the women and that includes putting them up and taking them down and taking care of everything in them. The teepee belonged to the women and it symbolizes the universe.
