Beaver Steals Fire from the Pines

My ethnic and cultural history is multi-dimensional.  It has been a challenging and strong direction in my life to integrate the diverse parts of my background into an artistic expression and lifestyle.  Born on the Okanogan plateau of Washington state, I spent my childhood on our family cattle ranch on the Colville Reservation.  My imagery is inspired by the stories told to me by my native grandparents. –Artist statement
