Public Art

  The personal  connection I have to the Chickasaw tribe has always been important to me although for many years I avoided using the content of my heritage in my work. The shared lessons about our culture, traditions, and stories of our family were precious to me and I was afraid of allowing them to become cliché through my artwork.  As I have become more comfortable with my art, and the content I have found it important to face the challenge of exploring my heritage through sculpture.
