Education has always been important to me, but creativity is my passion.
I find that creativity is often the best way to educate others. Whether it be through my music, writing, photography, or traditional Cherokee arts, I find a way for each piece to not only speak to someone’s soul, but leave a lasting memory of history – or hope for the future. As a Native American artist, I not only create traditional art of my tribe, but contemporary arts in many genres. Touching many experiences is the life of the contemporary Native. Indigenous art does not always have an “Indian” theme, but rather, is from either our perspective or embodies our traditional teachings. Art IS our culture. Everything we do is surrounded by and based on art. Being an artist is an integral part of being a culture-bearer.
