Summary

A multidisciplinary Oneida visual artist. Much of my work is inspired by nature and traditional indigenous stories, symbols, language, and other cultural methods and practices that are utilized in a contemporary setting. I am a self-taught professional who constantly strives to re-invent the definition of art, skilled in various techniques such as molding, carving, and shaping to bring artistic visions to life through earth-based mediums. With over three years of experience in public art, sculpture, murals, and other artworks for individuals, organizations, and entities, he also dedicate my time and experience to advancing, advocating, and educating youth, my tribe, and fellow community members through the arts and various committees and boards.
