I cannot help but to create art. In my culture art is everything, it’s all around us. Art tells our stories. It’s our culture, it’s our lif.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite type of art is woodcut prints and or acrylic painting indigenous peoples of the Americas
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in my Crow tribe and within other indigenous people of the Americas still surviving and living strong in these modern times while living in two cultures at once . The everyday life and it's precious moments that make our lives special.
What would you do with $25,000?Wow $25,000 would be great for documenting my Tribal customs and traditions before they are gone and left up to interpretation by non indigenous people which has lead to a lot of misconception about our indigenous people of the Americas. I want to document in painting, mono printing and wood block printing.
