I believe each piece of art is a small discovery of self awareness and a learning opportunity. I appreciate the lessons learned and carry those experiences over from one piece to another. My goal is to better understand each situation and improve as art reveals itself to me.

When making decisions in my work I begin with familiar images. I draw inspiration from these images. Deconstructing them and then reassembling them, adding my own personal experiences.

I am currently working on how Native Americans are being perceived in these contemporary times. Being Native American from Isleta Pueblo decent, I feel it’s my responsibility as an artist to inform people that indigenous peoples are not frozen in time. That they have evolved from those times of tepees and moccasins.
