See my most recent work: A friendly little Eastern Bluebird says "estonko!" - or hello!
I am an American Indian citizen of Muscogee (Creek) Nation raised in Edmond, Oklahoma; and have been a New York City transplant since 2008, where I currently reside with my husband and daughter. My self-taught work comes from the heartfelt urgency to preserve the Muscogee language and our family heritage in the most beautiful and enduring way I possibly can.
Handsewn beadwork and acrylic on canvas. All works incorporate the Muscogee language, and most titles contain an interval class for music improvisation.
I want to see Muscogee expressions appear perfectly natural outside Indian country, recognizable to non-Natives, and embraced in art and fashion -- to create the world I wish to gift my daughter.
