Portfolio Example & Artist Statement

With my artwork, I believe I bring a different approach of what allows others to reflect on the canvas and depict what they see. This brings many to imagine what the canvas wants to share to the observer. The use of acrylic paints dance across my canvases, weaving threads of vibrant color and bold strokes that echo the energy of life which one will decide as they approach. My paintings are portals into a world where tradition and innovation intertwine, inviting viewers to embrace the beauty of transformation. My muse derives from my culture, who I am, and the experiences I journeyed on Mother Earth where I convey ancestral knowledge, memory, and imagination that follows through my hand and mind of being Navajo.
