I’m a Native American artist working with encaustic. My other love is photography. Most of the colored wax that I work with I make myself. I also incorporate sandpainting sand, beads and horse hairs into my work. These are materials that are used in ceremonies and other traditional events. 
 

I work with both a heat gun and a blow torch depending on the effect that I’m looking for. I’ve done a few workshops in Santa Fe and another in Tuscon with the International Encaustic Artists Association. I’m showing my work at the The Encaustic Art Institute in Santa Fe, Weyrich Gallery in Albuquerque and at Sara's Southwest in Bernalillo, N.M.
