My favorite type of art to create is a timeless piece that will outlive me for generations like my ancestors have been creating for centuries, I have evolved into a spiritual person by knowing my culture and being humble in the art I create by using colors and symbols that have specific meanings which align with the universe and help inspire the world, painting and beadwork , traditional regalia wear , and Hualapai turquoise. The creator gave us these sacred stones which all have healing powers.

I find inspiration through walks of life, the moments, and experiences that shape how I see the world. In 1883 the Hualapai Charley had befriended a Jewish attorney who had gotten his spiritual guidance. The Jewish attorney had helped the Hualapai get the land , to this day we use the Jewish star as honoring him, we honor our ancestors and we bird dance and bird sing to honor and respect of our culture for it comes from the universe.

I’d use the 25k to build something steady out of everything I’ve been through. Put a big part toward stable housing, then invest in my art so it can sustain me, and set aside a little for healing and honoring my mother and father who I’ve lost last year, my daughter had gotten very sick and I seen her fight the battle of cancer and had taught me allot of her bravery, these events had also shaped me into motivation.
