As an authentic Native American, I struggled to utilize the mainstream “Native American”, textiles. They are inauthentic and to commercialized. Working with Illustrator and Photoshop I created my very own textiles. The Image on the bottom right, the cocktail asymmetrical dress, I utilized a famous Impressionist Native American Print named ‘Eagle Heart’.
