WORK
My current photography series, "Art Heals: The Jingle Dress Project," is bringing global attention to Native American issues through the healing power of the Ojibwe jingle dress dance. The project originated from a dream I had to unite the beauty of the land with the jingle dress dance.
In order to bring hope and healing during these uncertain times due to the COVID-19 pandemic and social differences.
