I make art because some stories are too powerful for words. My hands carry memory, culture, and spirit into form.

I create sculptural installations from natural, reclaimed, and unconventional materials—art that holds story, spirit, and protection, not just form.
Where do you find inspiration?In the land, in memory, and in the quiet spaces where stories live. I’m guided by Indigenous teachings, lived experience, and the voices that refuse to disappear.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d expand my installation into a traveling healing experience—bringing it to communities, schools, and gatherings where art can open space for truth, reflection, and connection.
