Here’s a peek at some art I did last year.

True friendship and community shine brightest in hard times. They remind us that even in our darkest moments, we never walk alone.

I’m honored to be one of the featured artists in Living Stories: Contemporary Woodland Native American Art, opening at the newly rebranded Gichigamiin Indigenous Nations Museum in Evanston, IL, on January 27.2025

Save the date, and join us for this important cultural event!

Here at Lake Michigan
a lone block of ice broke off and now sits on the sandy bottom

Created by the rolling freezing waves it’s
Constantly being carved by wind and water

What created it will eventually destroy it

Varnishing this commission.
