The inaugural show, We Are the Seeds Indigenous Art Market took place in Santa Fe, NM this past weekend. I was an artist participant where I showcased and sold my original Yazzgrl Art.
Many activities occurred from Thursday to Saturday at this Indigenous market at the Railyard District of the Santa Fe community. It was at this time that I was able to also be a participant in an Indigenous Fashion show on Friday. Some area fashion designers made garments of raw duck canvas and asked women artists to paint upon the garments. I was able to paint my artwork on a skirt garment made by Navajo designer Jolonzo Goldtooth of JGindie Designs.

This is the art image I produced on the skirt made by Jolonzo. I chose to paint a figure of a woman, herself 'adorned' in her "fashionable" clothing and too, with the desert stars around her. I really liked the way this turned out, and am even now inspired to make my own garments, or accessories in which I can paint upon.

This photo depicts me with the Navajo model who is wearing the entire garment, the models who wore all the garments made by the Indigenous fashion designers visited the artists booths after the show. The skirt I painted upon is pictured on the model. I was very grateful to have been a participant in this event during the event.
