Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Tokeya Waci U Richardson

My artwork is inspired by the traditional way my people used beadwork, quillwork, and ledger paper to tell stories and/or teach. I often use this to promote empowerment to my indigenous relatives and show them that the type of power that has always been within them from the love of our ancestors and the earth. My main media usage to showcase this message is antique ledger paper and paints. I am also talented in beadwork and quillwork.
