“I’ve been an artist since I could hold a pencil so to speak, really since I was three.  I would like to grow more as an artist and be able to help the students at the Alamo Community School grow as well. When I was young there were so many artists on the Reservation- weavers, silversmiths, sand painters, bead artists and so much more. Today only a few are left. We have so many talented youngsters at Alamo.  I want to show the younger generation you make a good living following your dreams doing art of any sort.”
