Self-portrait. Christmas Angel. A beautiful Sasquatch Christmas Angel is sitting in front of the church with its beautiful Angel wings. A beautiful Jesus glass-stained painting is on the wall in front of the church. A Christmas tree with decorations. I, in various images! I love these paintings. 🎅🎄🙏🏼

Self-portrait. I'd paint a strange, but, cute version of myself walking along White River with salmon swimming & the beautiful sunrise. Earth yawns. Shakes her hair about. Smiles. An eagle flies near the water. Sasquatch sings between worlds. My ancestors pray for me. I pray for them. Unity. Love.🙏🏼

I can't fathom what they survived. I am in shock at the actions of Linda Weston & her daughter, Jean McIntosh. How can they do such things? What made Linda Weston think it was OK to mistreat vulnerable people? And, especially her own niece, Beatrice Weston.
Beatrice survived along with others. 🙏🏼💝

I was thinking about some of the strange things that I have seen before. And, how the Sasquatch People were protective of me. Well, I'd like to think that they are. But, at different moments in my life, I've seen different things pop up out of nowhere. Not necessarily out in the woods. In, general.

I was feeling the Christmas Spirit last night, so I created these characters with a Christmas theme. I was really trying to create her into an odd, yet, really pretty type of character.
A large square head, long skinny neck. Large eyes. Long legs. A burgundy crown. Christmas trees all around her.

These are so cute & pretty to me. They're definitely self-portraits with an artistic vibe! If I were to be created into a character, this would definitely be me. Especially, when she appears more chubby! LoL! As a character, I don't mind that she's super skinny at times! I love all of her creations!

I am finally figuring out who my character is! The more I create, the more crisp & clear she becomes! This is my favorite one so far. I love all of them, but, this one feels most complete to me. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone else, but, to me it does.
I love these creations! So fun!!!

With these creations, I created a similar character as before. The extra-large head & button nose. Hearts on her cheeks. A cute touch, I think! And, a beautiful headband w/ clamshells on it. Black boots with clamshells on them. A black dress with a white bow at her waist. A white bison & Sasquatch.

In this small collection, a Native American woman is at a waterfall up in the mountains. I really wanted it to look like a collage of images coming together as one art piece. The first art piece has a small likeness to STARRY NIGHT. Then, Sasquatch is close by. And, Medicine Men praying & singing. 🙏🏼

I love this painting. Well, I'd love for it to become a beautiful painting one day. It was taken on October 15th, 2023. Mom was still with us. We're missing 2 sisters & one brother. But, it was still a wonderful birthday for my little sister and me. We share the same birthday: October 15th. 🥳🎂🥰 🎃🍰🎶🍁

Self-portrait. In the style of cubism. Similar to Picasso's self-portrait. I love it. 😍☺️🙂

This art collection is about a Native American woman artist who is at a local park. At the park is a large waterfall fountain & a beautiful statue of a Native American woman holding onto a large salmon. That statue is the centerpiece of this entire park. I love how it looks like a collage painting.

Another self-portrait version. This time, the character is at a cabin up in the mountains. There's a waterfall near her home. Spirits of salmon are swimming in the water. Salmon are swimming around. It's FALL Time. Sunset. Sasquatch. She's praying at the river. She brought seashells up to her cabin.

These self-portrait pieces are inside a rose garden. I love the variety of flowers & different statues inside the rose garden. I initially wanted it to be a water fountain, but, I ran out of words to use. The irises appear to be extremely sophisticated which I LOVE ❤️ 😍 💖 . They're so cute to Me. 😊

Another one of my favorite mini collections of art pieces. Similar to, The Two Fridas, but, my own self-portraits.
I love the Halloween images. I love the strange, yet, pretty character with the large head & huge eyes. I love how feminine she looks. Then, sitting next to a chubby plain Jane! 😍🥰😊

I created these characters & art pieces last night. I really love Frida Kahlo & her self-portrait of: The Two Fridas, so, I used the likeness of her art & created my very own versions! I also requested that the painting have a HALLOWEEN-inspired theme. Halloween theme inspired self-portrait. Voila!🎃

I read online that there was going to be a huge gathering on my Rez with other tribes & organizations for #MMIP #MMIW - I don't have any other information about it, but, I am happy that my tribe is hosting a gathering soon. #MistyUpham She lived here in Muckleshoot. #KayleeMaeNelsonJerry

I have a beautiful niece who loves frogs. I hear them nearly every single night outside my window! They're actually calming to listen to when it's raining & they're singing away. Sometimes, all I hear are the frogs at night & in the early mornings. I pray that she is connected with her Prince ATM.🙏🏼🥰

Today, when I was at The Day Center, I was talking to an acquaintance there. I enjoy his company. Somehow, I began telling him about my biological dad committing suicide. He told me: Gerri, you better not do that. I swear. It'd hurt me. I'd bring you back so quickly."
"I'm OK, Sir Anthony." I said.
