I create commissioned works that live in the borderlands — honoring story, lineage, place, and personal narrative. Whether for private collectors, institutions, or community spaces, each piece begins in thoughtful dialogue. My process is collaborative and layered, resulting in artwork that carries both aesthetic power and cultural depth.

I facilitate workshops that invite participants into creative risk, cultural reflection, and embodied storytelling. Drawing from more than 25 years of educational experience, I guide groups through symbolism, narrative, and visual language in ways that are both rigorous and accessible. These spaces hold humor and solemnity together — and often reveal unexpected insight.

As an international speaker and featured artist in Visual Voices: Contemporary Chickasaw Art, I speak on art, Indigenous identity, storytelling, and the tension of living between worlds. My talks blend scholarship, lived experience, and visual narrative. I aim not only to inform, but to stir something deeper in the room.

My concept of embodied metaphors extends beyond the canvas into lived experience. Through guided conversations, immersive sessions, and collaborative art-making, I help individuals and communities explore how metaphor shapes identity, memory, and meaning. These offerings are especially powerful for organizations seeking creative renewal or deeper cultural engagement.
