I am so finally happy to finally announce that I have completed my graduation from the Institute of American Indian Arts. As many of you know I gave my entire focus on my education. I made a promise to myself and my husband that I would give this everything I had and complete it to my utmost highest capability. I am happy to say that I did do that and achieved so much more that I thought was possible. I graduated with Alpha Chi honors maintaining a 4.0 and had the opportunity to participate in exhibitions throughout my time there. Since graduating I focused wholeheartedly on re-building the website and doing photography documentation of the work I created at school. There was so many works I completed that I was not able to share yet. I also did my senior exhibition work and shared some of the overview of it. I am happy to share it now on this website and available for purchase. I had a lot of inquiry on it and made the works available for purchase individually. You can also order the wooden display with turquoise in lay separately it is included as a set for the Navajo Bouquet No. 1 piece.

January 2026 Update
Hello Everyone!!! Happy to be back for another year, thank-you for all the patience while I was ill during the beginning of the year. I am almost back to 100% there's some steady updates happening around the website. I am officially on my last semester of school and graduating in May of this year. Which means I will be back full time to my business and creating again once I graduate. I am currently registering my business and doing some preparation to start attending markets around the country. I am also applying for some fellowships and looking to the future with my work. I really want to consider getting my master's and there's a lot of work I want to do for the community. In combination with everything happening I have finally opened commission work again!! All the details can be found in the FAQ section. I'm excited for this year it's a big year, thank-you for all the support and please feel free to email or DM through Instagram if you are interested in sorting out custom work. I start school on 1/20 and planning a lot of traveling after graduation so I will be sure to keep updates flowing and new content coming. I CANT WAIT TO SHARE MY SENIOR PROJECT WORK! It has been so hard to keep it under wraps but the time is almost here to share! Stay tuned.
