I am a visual artist, printer, and photographer. I am an artist who is dedicated to social issues. In 2016, I was drawn by a physical, subconscious force to look into this deadly issue of missing, indigenous, Women. I began researching the missing extensively, specifically in the United States. The missing of our indigenous women began when they landed on our shores.

 

The print I have chosen for this print exchange is titled One of Many. I consider this image to be a universal image of death. Looking at the image, we can briefly remember someone we have lost. Connecting us all. Currently, I am creating a body of artwork which speaks of the missing. I have begun weeping while working on this series, I have come to terms that the tears are of the dead, tears of their families, tears of their pets and friends, my tears. I like to believe that they are healing tears. I like to believe that the women, spirits of the missing are my mothers watching over me. Reminding me to speak of them in my art.
