Artist Bio/Statement:
Born in 1978 in California. And lived in a lot of places in the US. Since my father was in the army. I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil up. I'm Apache and papago both of new Mexico. Growing up my great grandmother never allowed us to claim our heritage. Later in life I realized that boarding schools were taking kids until 1996. We knew about our background though through both of my grandmothers. I danced at Powwows since I was 14 and had my coming out ceremony in 2019. I danced until my back injury affected my balance and recently diagnosed with Lupus. I've been doing more artwork and beadwork as my medicine. It helps me feel more productive.
