Portfolio Example & Artist Statement

I started my artistic journey young, in a family of craft specialists. My grandfather taught me Zuni history and religion, which inspired me to work with visual media. Despite my hand condition, I learned various arts like beading and painting. I studied Studio Arts in high school and university, pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I now infuse traditional figures with a modern twist, focusing on Zuni designs and cultural knowledge to preserve culture and pass down wisdom. Through my art, I bridge the past with the present.
