About the Artist
I am an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation and a native to rural northeastern Oklahoma. My artistic journey began late in life, after retiring from a high-pressure career. Returning home to care for aging parents awakened long-suppressed artistic passions and encouraged me to forge new ties to my Oklahoma roots and Cherokee heritage. Through my art, I seek to explore the secret, hidden places that the fantasist in me has always known lie just beyond the horizon. In these forgotten spaces, I know the spirits of my ancestors and the little people still tussle with the old-world fey folk who were brought to our shores on European ships. Along this journey, I have embraced a passion for shaping stone. I especially love unearthing the deep, rich colors buried within each piece. Working the stone is healing for the mind and spirit. I become absorbed in the motions, allowing stress and worries to melt away. I also love that my workspace is under the open sky, where each piece absorbs the darkness and moonlight.
