My artwork is a reflection of who I am as an Indigenous Person. I paint using oil paint and often times I use acrylic paint, and sand on paper. Mixed media is my favorite outlet. I also create my own versions of sand paintings. In reality I am painting scenes from dreams I had from long ago. Being an artist to me means I am open to working in mixed media and have no fear of building houses using my Indigenous roots to design and build. I think in the past 5 years I really exploded as an Indigenous Architect and I love it.
