ABOUT

I am a second-year student at the University of Lethbridge taking Art History/Museum Studies. I prefer to work in sculpture and 3D materials but this last semester I have started to get more interested in performance and video. These are the main mediums that I work in and hope to do more so with in the future. 

Taking an Indigenous Studies Art History course over the summer of 2021 made me realize that I would like to take more Indigenous Studies courses. This was because in that one class I learned more about Indigenous culture and history than my 12 years of public school. So when looking through the course catalogue and saw that there was an Indigenous art studio course I knew I should take it. This class seemed like a good mix of learning and creating, both of which I enjoy doing. I’m happy that I chose to take this class as it was an interesting class that gave me lots of freedom to express myself and learn more. 

These Indigenous Studies classes as well as the few studio classes I have done in the last year have accumulated to where I am now with my art. They gave me the freedom to learn and challenge myself mentally with what I can do. My background with sports and my family dynamics have also given me some unique perspectives on my work that have helped to foster some interesting ideas and projects.
