Artist’s Statement

---

My work is rooted in my lived experience as an undocumented Native womyn. Through color, line, and light, I weave images that explore shifting identity, perception, reality, and abstraction. At the heart of my practice is an inquiry into the essential nature of womyn—an effort to free my vision from the constraints of my Bauhaus-influenced training and from the European, male-defined canon of “ART.”

I use humor and, at times, the subtle power of the side-eye to spark dialogue with the viewer. My work challenges the clichés surrounding “women’s art,” confronting notions of what is dismissed as trivial and what is elevated as profound. In this way, each piece becomes both playful and defiant, holding space for complexity, resilience, and truth.
