Art of a Non-Genius | Lee Sekaquaptewa
I am Lee Sekaquaptewa, a Multi-Tribal Native American Artist living in the Pacific Northwest. I draw, paint, design, print; I am a mixed media artist. I create work taking inspiration from my dreams and cultural heritage while intertwining pop cultural references. With content ranging from humorous observations of daily life to intercultural reflections and musings, I create small works often.
Sketching, sketchbooks, and doodling help clear my mind while freeing and/or distracting me from daily life and stress. I often make use of graphic elements from the bold blocks of color to typography or published media. I have interests in photorealism as much as I do with expressive mark making and illustration. Things that bleed into my creative process are colliding visual elements, collaged imagery, memories, stories, dreams, or personal and social issues.
My cultural heritage provides a unique perspective, such that it is underrepresented and misrepresented (even for myself). My art has history, insights, and meaning that honors my culture and teachings. My perspective, dedication, and interpretation fueling inspiration, influence, and potential; not only for me, but for those around me.
