As soon as I decided to start creating more art & graphic design I knew I wanted to illustrate certain feelings and experiences. One of those is taking the Native American spiritual and two-spirit feelings I have been needing to express and further explore. My deep love for nature and viewing everything natural as a gift and responsibility for humans to answer to and care for, has guided me both in creativity and in life.
