“My art draws me closer to my Nuwu culture and identity . . .”

… I have learned much through the lessons of our Tribal elders and traveling to visit our ancestral lands and sacred sites in Southern Nevada … my art translates these oral traditions for the viewer. Many pieces operate as a filter that keeps the integrity of sacred information that my people hold dear, while allowing Nuwuvi culture to be shared with a broader audience.”

~Fawn Douglas, in Project 562 by Matika Wilbur
