Born in Oklahoma of the Caddo tribe, I have always been an artist. I discovered my purpose and voice behind my art was to revive and reintroduce my tribe’s prolific pottery tradition to the world as it had almost been lost. I attended SCAD for an art background, and today create traditional and modern interpretations of our ancestral pottery in order to educate the public and our own people of our cultural identity. My work can be seen in museum permanent collections all over the country including the NMAI, DMA, MAM, Mulvane, Carlos, Crystal Bridges, Autry, Eiteljorg, and Gilcrease Museum.
