I am an Oglala Lakota Artist who resides on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. As an emerging Lakota artist, I hope to express and reflect our history and culture with better understanding and knowledge for mankind to share in this world. My Artwork is a part of me keeping the Lakota tradition and culture alive.
Lakota art is in constant motion, very dramatic and always moving.
It is very creative, but creativity doesn't come instantly. Creating creativity is an art that is in itself hard work and that is what Lakota art is about. Depicting historical events must be expressed properly and accordingly and that in itself requires a great deal of oral and written research. Lakota art is very sensitive from my perspective. It can be discouraging and encouraging.
