An Alaskan Coastal Tribe. My ancestors migrated from the Siberian Strait To Alaska Where They Were A Small Coastal Fishing Tribe, Who Worshipped Ravens For Their Unique Abilities To Guide, Heal and Bring Wisdom. Eventually We Became Cherokee.

My Ancestors Migrated From The Siberian Strait and Became An Alaskan Coastal Tribe. Like So Many Tribes, We Worshipped Ravens For Their Wisdom and Intelligence, and Their Ability To Always Help One Find Their Way Home.So much of my work comes from my dreams. In fact all my recent work in the last few years that include ravens and eagles as frequent visitors especially those who perch on the shoulders of the Shawoman falconer healers all come directly from one of the most profound dreams of my life regarding my ancestors. I’ve always felt that they protect me and in the dream, a giant red tail hawk landed on my shoulder when I was walking a long red road out of the city. Later the hawk who was sensationally beautiful, turned into a man, the most beautiful, handsome Native American Chief I’d ever seen. Much like in Hinduism where several gods and deities appear in the form of half animal and half human. So if anyone is wondering why I do the work I do, my dreams are the origin and the culprit. AI enables me to make this work, work I’ve been wanting to visually articulate for many years, I’m grateful for all the recent technological innovations that allow me to make the work I’ve been wanting to make for many years.
