I am a beadwork artist, a makeup artist, and a published author. I published my first book ‘Painting Our Legacy’ in 2022, where I highlight and share the beauty of Indigenous culture through the artist medium of makeup. I grew up on the Rez and now I live in the city, I found beading helped me stay connected to my culture being away from community and that is really when I fell in love with it’
