We had a pretty packed house for the 5th Annual Odenong Powwow. When I first decided to attempt holding a powwow in 2021, I figured it was going to be a one-off online only event held during the pandemic. 4 years later, 5 drums & dance comp, it's quickly becoming a New England favorite for folks.

So I make art for a lot of reasons. I'm often interested in capturing the experiences of mixed Native folks like me and Native folks who live in cities. I'll be posting some of my art reflecting that interest.
