My favorite type of art to create is one that reflects my dedication to my Indigenous communities and my deep connection to my heritage. I love creating pieces that carry meaningful messages and themes that resonate with my cultural identity. Additionally, I find joy in creating art that is close to my mother's heart, which I bring to life using various art forms such as sketch, charcoal, and acrylic.
