In my work, I am utilizing centuries-old art forms, symbols of the past, creating symbolic imagery for the future. It carries a dialogue of history /resilience, and understanding of the environmental relationship that embraces all life. I realize, that my propose in life is within my artwork. My fascination with traditional Pueblo frescos - is a dying art form. Used by indigenous people for many centuries was an important and meaningful form of storytelling. The fresco process is a reminder of the lost art produced for a purposeful time and reason. When art was not a word used, but a process utilizes for a meaningful rhythm of Life. This is importance, that we reach back to learn from our ancestors of the past, for Life in the present and for our future. Our knowledge is crucial, our struggles are real and still exist today. We reach back for guidance with prayers and offerings with the breath of Life, in hopes Our children will carry on, practice and understand for a better future.
