Her ancestors Navajo Diné, Apache & Yaqui, led her in a different direction, Spider woman whispered plans for a different type of earth home.

Her space is a sanctuary for art of the region, highlighting artists with stories to tell, resonating with other artists who too share in respect and ceremony with the land. Knowing that creating is a powerful survival mechanism, she hosts

My prayer is that our community continues to build creative resistance, to make their art speak and tell our stories. May they feel as empowered and proud as I am for being of this land.
