My Tewa name is Tse Tsan, and I’m from Kha’p’o Owingeh (Santa Clara Pueblo). In 2018, I graduated from New Mexico School for the Arts with high honors and a certification in visual arts. I attended Fort Lewis College in Durango, CO for three years before moving to Oklahoma City. I transferred to Southern New Hampshire University and graduated summa cum laude with my degree in business administration. During that time I started a career as a UI/UX product designer. I moved back home to New Mexico where I’m currently working as a freelance product designer and artist.I create contemporary illustrations that explore themes of identity, femininity, and environment. I combine vivid digital illustrations with Pueblo patterns to represent both the modern and traditional influences that shaped my identity. My goal is to create a body of work that expands the public’s perception of Indigenous art beyond traditional crafts.I’ve completed commissions for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the City of Española. My work has been featured in 15 exhibitions, including exhibitions at Warehouse 21, the Red Dot Gallery, and the Lensic Performing Arts Center. I’m currently working on an exhibition for the Millicent Rogers Museum.
