Artist Statement:
My painting practice is unavoidably linked to my Navajo and Southern identity. For both of my family’s cultures, leaving home is incredibly difficult. It demands choices be made about what to bring with us and what to leave behind. Hunting, fishing, and pets signify a sense of home and belonging in the landscape, making wildlife key to my visual upbringing.
