This collection series reflects what it feels like to carry strong Indigenous identity while also navigating life in America. It's about learning how to fully exist in both spaces without shrinking any part of who you are. Through this series, every piece is expressed by colliding different mediums and finding balance to be seen fully and authentically within both.
This series of hand-painted roses on dentalium shells was created during a period of mourning following the loss of my grandmother, Rose. What began as a deeply personal way to honor her memory evolved into a larger body of work centered around remembrance, lineage, and the matriarchs who shape our families and identities. Each piece carries the intention of preserving their presence through art—transforming grief, love, and memory into something lasting and beautifully worn.
Becoming is my first step into the world of fashion and garment making—an exploration of growth, transformation, and trusting the creative process. This collection features some of the very first garments I have ever sewn, making each piece a reflection of both where I am and where I am headed as an artist. More than a collection, Becoming is about embracing change and allowing yourself to evolve into the person you are meant to be. While this is only the beginning of my journey in fashion design, it represents a willingness to try, to grow, and to step into something new with courage.My hope is that when people see or wear these pieces, they are reminded that becoming is a lifelong process—and that there is beauty in honoring every stage of their journey.
This show was Boise's first ever Indigenous fashion show supporting the cause of MMIW/MMIP
