Artist Biography
My art is expressed in many different ways other than painting and drawing. Growing up I entered the entertainment industry at the young age of 17 by modeling first. After graduating high school, I went to college at The Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, NM majoring in Cinematic Arts where I started acting too. In the last 10 years I've been in and out of the industry, mostly because of family and personal things but after Covid I got inspired to try it again. I'm not as young or small as I use to be when I started in the last year, 2022, I've been in 10 fashion show, background acting for two TV series, 1 commercial and 2 movies. I took my videography to the next level as well and built a small social media following with my Tikktok account. I have really enjoyed "#nativetiktok". Through my following I've made videos talking about Indigenous issues, food, and entertainment through humor online. Next thing on my list is I've started a comedy journey by doing Standup now. My first official show was New Year's Eve (2022) in Gallup, NM. The Navajo land treated me well and I plan to come back for another set. I'm not a big painter or designer, but I am an entertainer. It is a hard journey, nothing is cheap, but I've enjoyed connecting with as many talented Indigenous artist as well and building my resume as much as I can. I am an artist in my own way.
