Artist Statement:

“This visual I have about how the sun, land, and clouds create colors as they engage life and for a stopping moment, you realize how their colors play. Creating these linoleum block prints, is a way of me to create a life form and evolving cycles with water, stars, corn, and mountains. Also, having a textile expression of it representing our elders, who have created different rugs throughout their lives. Keeping it simple does play a role in my community of the Ganado Red rug and interrupting and approaching it differently with stars, a mountain, and a hogan. My artworks visualize the Navajo lifestyle and include a rotating cast of stars, corn, water, textile, Hogan, and universe. I would like to acknowledge every elder who has brough every one of us into this world. They are still teaching us, of what it means to be here, and to understand what they are passing onto us.”
