(Acoma/Laguna Pueblos, New Mexico, U.S.A.)

I'm from the Pueblos of Acoma and Laguna in New Mexico, USA and have been drawing since I can remember and never imagined I’d have a line of cards. The line happened by chance beginning with sending  Christmas cards yearly as an opportnity to share a personal message and let the receiver know they are thought of. One year I couldn't find any cards I liked and took pen to paper. I still am a little shy about calling myself an artist because for so long, my art has only been a personal catharsis and kept in a box in the closet. I still am super thrilled when my art happens to stop people in their tracks for a closer look or when kids say “wow!”.

My art is from my heart and inspired by my ancestors, past & present extremely talented artists of my communities and beyond. Inspiration is everywhere! As we continue to grow we will be adding glossy cards, prints and more. Thank you for considering my cards for sharing your greetings :)!
