Art
Identity and Sovereignty Through Creation
My art is an extension of my advocacy. Inspired by Chickasaw heritage and Indigenous traditions, I create pieces that celebrate identity. I offer original works, commissions, and exhibitions, and I use art as a medium to shift perspectives and strengthen cultural narratives. Every piece is rooted in healing and sovereignty, reflecting the beauty and strength of Indigenous life.
