Artist Statement
"As a US American woman with indigenous and European ancestry, my work addresses my identity and explores issues related to my experiences and thoughts on society and culture. I am compelled to investigate the precariousness of cultural identity. Our past and present history influences how we perceive others, as well as how we perceive ourselves. In my art I explore themes such as American history, ethnicity, gender and power using nontraditional materials and mixed media via painting, assemblage, site specific installation, audio, and performance."
