Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Kandis Quam

Growing up in a family of native artists, I inherited and continued the Quam family's artistic legacy. As the first person in my family to graduate from college, I pursued a degree in Cultural Anthropology and American Indian Studies. After completing my education, I returned to the Pueblo of Zuni and began my journey as an artist. My artistic focus is blending traditional and modern elements, emphasizing Zuni influences. My materials can range from acrylic paint to wood burning and digital graphics. I strive to preserve our culture through my work and to pass on this knowledge to future generations. I hope to create change through beauty by bridging the past and the present.
