By day, I am a data operations analyst, spreadsheets, automated workflows, and building databases are my jam. I analyze and seek strategies to achieve a desired outcome.
By heart, I am a quiet observer and connect with others through visual creations. My heart comes alive when I am creating. I explore relationships and belonging through documentary photography and contemporary art with deep-rooted significance to Navajo culture and Native life.
Through natural light portraiture, environmental composition, fluid textures, and minimalist illustration, my work navigates the balance between documentation and interpretation. Together, these mediums create a visual language that is both personal and collective, inviting viewers to interpret how belonging is carried through identity, culture, and community.
My photographs and artwork honor everyday moments, gatherings between generations, quiet reflections, and connections. Ingrained in environmental storytelling and emotional tone, my use of subdued palettes and intentional negative space allows emotion to emerge quietly. At its core, it is about remembrance and continuation: honoring where we come from while recognizing ourselves in the present.
My visual creations are personal to me, with each, I focus on Native visibility. I focus on the stories we tell to build and uplift the ancestors who brought us here.
