About Me

I'm a Citizen Potawatomi visual artist and have lived lives in auto sales and finance, financial technologies, grant-writing, and capacity building.

In coaching, I specialize in helping people get clear on their vision, identify goals, and refine those goals into actionable steps so that life six months to a year from now can look drastically different in the best possible ways. My approach is both culturally-informed and rooted in my own personal experiences with mental health, launching my artist career, and much more. I use the same approach regardless of what we're dealing with, whether in matters of self-worth building, love, art, career, or anything else. When we seize control of exactly what is within our control, we can do great things.

As an artist, my passion lies in acrylic painting, and I’m known for my distinctive style that features busy, asymmetrical variations on traditional Potawatomi florals and dreamy, semi-surreal figures. My work often explores themes related to women and feminine figures, body autonomy, the interior of the human psyche, and ancestral connections.

I’ve had the honor of being featured in publications such as Skyie Magazine and Canary Collective Magazine, among others. My artistic journey has also led to several awards and recognitions, including 1st Place in 2D Art at the Potawatomi Gathering in 2024, 3rd in Oil/Acrylic Painting at the Red Earth Festival in 2024, and being named a NextGen Under 30 for the Arts in 2023.

Currently, I am represented by Revolt x Tvlse Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and my original works and prints can be found in various locations throughout the Oklahoma City metro area.
