Tomorrow from 1-5 I'll be at the Owamni Falling Wa

Tomorrow from 1-5 I'll be at the Owamni Falling Water festival with an assortment of goodies to purchase. I'll also have free Dakota culture and language materials!

It's downtown Minneapolis at Owamni aka St Anthony Falls, on both sides of the river! I'll be on the Water Works side, near the @owamni restaurant

I'll have prints, etched glass frames featuring Dakota florals, resin jewelry, waterproof vinyl stickers and pins featuring my fabric patterns and a new design called Lucky 777 Oceti Sakowin (7 Council Fires), since being born Dakota or Lakota is the same thing as winning the lottery. Come by and enjoy Indigenous cultures! 😌

I worked with the @indianhealthboard_minneapolis on a number of assets that you'll be seeing around town (including on metro transit).

So happy to be able to create work based on the Native community's feedback for visual representation as well as bringing awareness to MNSure for healthy families! For real, get in touch with IHB to learn more if you're in need of better health insurance, it's important for our kids to grow up healthy.

I updated my Society 6 store with new patterns on

I updated my Society 6 store with new patterns on shirts, leggings, bags, home goods, office and tech good etc. The patterns include my Dakota Paisley, Wild Horses and Chokecherry designs.

You can check them out through the link in my bio.

Also, I'll be updating my spoonflower with dozens of new fabrics pretty soon so stay tuned for that.

"Kapemni (mirroring)", as part of the WE tapestry

"Kapemni (mirroring)", as part of the WE tapestry mural curated by @uasicreative, commissioned by the city of Bloomington in partnership with @artistry_mn / @southloopmn

Join us for the Sunset Block Party on September 18 starting at 5pm to celebrate all of these works in one of Minnesota's longest murals.
--
The center of this mural features a tipi and its reflection above, creating the Dakota symbol of two reflected triangles known as Kapemni (mirroring) which represents the philosophy that what happens below is reflected above and vice versa.

According to Dakota star knowledge, We believe We come from the stars. Bdote, the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers near Bloomington, is the place of origin for Dakota people and where the Kapemni (mirroring) is strongest. Our ancestors were often buried along the Mississippi River -- which is reflected above us as the Milky Way, the spirit road that we travel upon in the afterlife according to Dakota beliefs. In Bloomington, Mound Springs Park features a number of such mounds. More of these mounds were destroyed in recent times such as the Lincoln Burial Mounds (destroyed for the construction of the Bloomington Central Station) nearby this mural.

As a metaphor, Bdote can also represent the meeting of people and the horizontal colors along the sides represents all the people today who come together to create our current society here in the Twin Cities metropolitan area.

"The Kaposia Times" mural Location: 715 Raymond A

"The Kaposia Times" mural

Location: 715 Raymond Ave, St Paul, MN 55114 (across from the Dual Citizen Brewing company)

Today, we see the impressive structures of the Twin Cities around us, with the skylines etched into our memories. However, before these cities, there existed the Dakota village of Kaposia, previously located where the Union Depot downtown Saint Paul now stands.

Commissioned as part of the @chromazonefest in the @cezmsp which features 30+ murals. Special thanks to all the kind visitors, businesses and neighbors in that community who stopped by to share their support while we were painting!

My drawing of @jeffhardybrand

I haven't drawn anything in 18+ months! Had tix to meet Jeff tonight but that was postponed because of covid 😔

The charismatic enigma was one of my childhood heroes and one of the few that kept their golden heart all these years later~

Had fun today with my painted sails on Lake Minnet

Had fun today with my painted sails on Lake Minnetonka to raise awareness of aquatic invasive species! Also nice to get out for a cruise and talk about Dakota history with all the kind folks who stopped by. Thanks to the Wayzata Sailing Club and Hennepin County for putting this all together.
