As a multi-disciplinary artist, the creative language I artistically live is birthed from deep within a confident cultural grounded foundation of Indigenous rooted world view. My creative bloodline is pre-contact.

My creative cultural intellect is umbilically tied to tradition and creation.

I see, live and create with indigenous artistic intent.


The Artistic language I speak with is a creative expression of the natural world’s strength, and the origin of our birth from these life-giving forces of nature being the spirit of life.

There is an overlying message in the thread of life tying us to our past to weave my creative language together anecdotally. This woven thread of life tying us to our past acknowledges the power of identity in the spirit of living culture.
