I am an artist from the Grayhorse District of the Osage Nation. I create paintings and contemporary fashion pieces using traditional materials, broadcloth and glass beads. My formal educational background is focused on oil painting in the Western Art canon. My familial and cultural education in Osage motifs, symbolism and materials was taught to me at an early age and centered beadwork and textile manipulation. My art practice is currently engaged in creating 2d works, in the tradition of easel painting, as well as creating contemporary clothing and fashion accessories, all utilizing materials and techniques my people use to make our traditional regalia.
