Born into an artistic family, creating wasn't exactly a conscious decision. It's a way life. Keeps me sane and is a necessity for survival.

Receive Text UpdatesBeing a Contemporary Native Artist, a lot of my visuals incorporate my culture, beliefs & life experiences. Work based in Surrealism, the Supernatural, Dreamscapes, Activism, Pop Culture, past, present & future all influence the focus of my projects. I enjoy utilizing Mixed Media to accomplish my storytelling and unique visions. Besides my passion for painting, indulging in Fashion, Illustration, Music, Visual Arts, Acting, Writing and Sculpture all excite me as well & can be equally satisfying!
Where do you find inspiration?A Neo-Native stance on the concept of Human vs Nature vs Technology has always sparked ideas worth discussing on canvas. What contributes to our survival, what is destroying our chances, what kind of balance & relationship do we have with the earth? Are there reparations, reciprocity, healing & recovery from our situation? These are all topics explored in my art. I'm heavily influenced by other artists in different fields. I like to honor past achievements, incorporate homages within my own art.
What would you do with $25,000?$25K would surely assist in acquiring a real & functioning art studio outside of my home. A place where I can create freely, without distractions, a space to house and organize my overwhelming amount of supplies, canvases, past work & my own personal collections. This would be an independent creative gathering sanctuary; open to collaborations, experimentation, entertaining. I feel that all the stars must be aligned & everything has to be perfectly in place in order for me to start the process.
