Greetings, Life’s Beautiful Journey Fans, friends, and community,
Enjoy this feature video of my linoleum relief prints in my Indigenous Intrinsic MANiFestations exhibit in our Life’s Beautiful Journey gallery for this month. As a multidisciplinary artist, I have about 50 hand-pulled prints in my personal art inventory.
I have staged my linoleum relief prints as an art vendor at Indigenous art market venues for 20 years. The interesting aspect is that, when I choose to create new artwork, printmaking is the last artistic discipline I choose to engage because I already have 50 prints in my inventory. But I do love printmaking, and my printmaking experience was honed at the Institute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe, New Mexico.
I have also taught numerous printmaking workshops. I taught printmaking at HOEA, Hawaiian Ohana for Education in the Arts, in Waimea, HI, in 2011. I’ve also taught numerous printmaking classes at the House of Welcome, my home community, the Tonawanda Seneca Nation, Astoria Community College, and the Pratt Fine Art Center in Seattle.
Unfortunately, we will be closing our Life’s Beautiful Journey gallery doors at the end of July. We have been open for a year, and the location is great, but not a pocketbook patron base conducive to my level of contemporary Indigenous art.
I will continue to contribute to and influence the perception and appreciation of contemporary Indigenous art.
My Indigenous artistic DNA is pre-contact.
I live a life of art in the art of life in Life’s Beautiful Journey gallery
