"I am Skye Little Cloud, an Indigenous artist who grew up in New York. As an Indigenous artist, my creations are deeply rooted in my experience with being Native American in a modern society. When you are born Indigenous you are born an activist. The fundamental principle of your existence is an act of resilience in the face of adversity. History has shown to make merciless attempts at erasing the voice my people once had. The very people who loved and cared for this land before it was called "America." With art as my outlet, I can take back the voice stolen from us years ago and create something enchanting. The power of art lies in its ability to communicate countless teachings in the form of a vision. Art is more than enchantment on display- it is how one can tell a thousand stories without a single word, a language only few will seek to understand. This is why we, as artists, have the ability to embrace the world in all of its ambiguity. With every brushstroke, I shall protect the voice of my people."
