Writing melodies that can affect emotion. Combining wood and stone And giving it a second purpose. Continuing the hunt to feed my spirit, it influences my hands, calms my mind, Validates the creator who I worship.
Where do you find inspiration?I’m a Tribal member of the Choctaw Tribe of Oklahoma. As my father was, and his mother, and her mother , and her father, and his father all the way back to the creation of man. . Spirit Driven . I have felt connected to nature always. The wilderness inspires me. The deserts 🌵, mountains. Trails I’ve never walked. Trials in life , The sun, the moon, the wind, the beauty of nature, the majesty of the ocean, The solitude of a stream, It’s the way God allows us to know that he is.
