The Artist Statement: 

The logo I designed was truly inspired by Native American style appliqué in which these designs are used on regalia for men and women. I really enjoy looking at these styles rather than westernized and American logos considering that me the artist is Native American, specifically Potawatomi and Ho-Chunk nation. I thought that using my heritage in correlation with my art is extremely important in terms of others understanding why I create this media art as well as giving my heritage and culture a place to be exposed to others who wouldn't see this on the normal, which I think is so incredibly important. I used the tulip design specifically because I thought it was more girly and more representative of who I am, in which I love flowers and think they are such a beautiful creation that came from the Lord. I hope that my logo sparks talk amongst those who are not Native American so that other issues like Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women of America.

The portrait also makes me feel as if I can see the struggle and success in her eyes, not just the raw-ness of emotion, but also seeing the past, present, and future in one singular take done by Platon. I think that for me this would be my most re...

The Finale... ECHOS PORTFOLIO

 The art:  The artist statement:  The portfolio you just seen above is all my work I have created with much grace and sweat, and then curated together to become "professionally" presentable. I used Adobe's color palette on custom mode to perfectly pick out the correct colors that represented who I am as the artist which was turquoise (#7ADFCE) (a popular mineral used in Indigenous jewelry and regalia), dark green (#025000) for nature, then red (#DF3E3E), yellow (#E1D656), white (paper) from the medicine wheel, and dark brown (#7C4300) for a neutral color to match the rest of the color theme. The Adobe font "Superior Title" was my best friend in accomplishing a groovy, sophisticated look I wanted to show style but also professionalism. My body text is all Adobe's font of "Khmer MN" which isn't the original font I want ("Bebas Neue") but it did an alright job of a being a good body text since it is still readable and stylized to fit the...
