Art gives me an outlet to express my feelings and I can exhibit my Indigenous ways through it. Art is healing for me.

Beadwork & painting are my favorite styles of art. I love how many different ways they can be done and used. As an instructor I always tell my classes "there is no mistake in art. A piece will be what it's meant to be". I truly believe that. Every piece is different like snowflakes. With each piece I pray for whoever will wear, have or see it. I want good things for others through my art. I want them to see my heart.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration comes from everywhere. Nature, my tribal ways, family, friends, feelings, dreams and mainly from prayers. If I'm making something for a person I observe them and use what I see and hear about them.
What would you do with $25,000?$25,000 would be a life changing amount of money for my family. I have a daughter in college, a niece going to college.I would pay off her car that she saved up to buy. I would be able to pay off bills and help my family however I could. I have 2 brothers. 1 is a single dad and the other is married. Both have daughters and are wonderful hardworking dads who deserve the world. I'd also help my father-in-law, my mom, grandma & 2 special uncles however I could. I would buy a cheap car for us too.
