2022 Creative Native Artist

14, Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida

The girl in the drawing is me, except with short hair. I want to cut my hair short. This represents me cutting my hair short. My clothes represent my love for martial arts, as it has helped with my confidence. There is a penguin with an apron to represent my favorite animal and my love for baking. The phone on the table shows “Ji Ji” which is my nickname. This name is very special to me. Besides my culture being a part of my identity, I wanted to show there is more that I identify myself with.
