Artist Statement

Traditional stories and Pueblo beliefs have always played an important part of the creation of my imagery, which is an abstract interpretation. For me, as a Native artist, fragmentation of certain Pueblo iconography allows the painting to have multiple layers of pigmentation and information. This process gives me the opportunity to go back into the painting or drawing and scrape away certain areas, leaving in it's place a ghost-like transparency. For it is my belief, that in this mysterious place of birth,death, and rebirth, live deities which remain my inspiration and a reflection of a prayer. (artist's resume provided upon request)
