What is your favorite type of art to create?

Native American based crafts of all types. I also like to paint fairies and mushrooms. I love to create my own patterns for ribbon skirts, ribbon shirts, and patchwork leather coats and jackets.

Where do you find inspiration?

Lately, it has been the internet since I am retired and no longer trust my car to drive to tribal dances. Museums, especially of my Pawnee tribe are also inspiring.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would definitely buy a dependable car as I miss traveling. And I would need to move since I live in an income based apartment complex. That would inspire me more to seek out a place with a safe water supply to set up a healing center and for regenerative agriculture and self sufficient living. With a space for sweatlodge and sacred fire.
