Accepted into the 2025 Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair & Market

I’m excited to announce that I’ve been accepted into the 2025 Heard Indian Market, one of the nation’s leading events for Native artists in Phoenix, Arizona! This incredible opportunity marks a major milestone in my journey as both an artist and a citizen of the Nansemond Indian Nation.

The Heard is one of the nation’s most respected Native art markets, bringing together Indigenous artists from across North America. To be part of that circle — surrounded by creators who carry their culture and stories through their work — is an honor I don’t take lightly.

I’m looking forward to sharing my basketry with new audiences and connecting with other artists who are keeping Native traditions alive in contemporary ways. This event isn’t just about showcasing my work — it’s about representing where I come from and contributing to a much larger story of Native creativity and resilience.
