Now that these Christmas gifts have been opened, I can share my favorites this year 🥰 These custom orders were my favorite this holiday season! Challenging, but SO much fun!! I looove working with folks to create the perfect gift for loved ones.

Quyana for your kind words and support this holiday season!

Quyana for the artist spotlight! I love sharing my story of how I began painting.

Stop by the Heritage Center today from 10 am - 5 pm to browse my items plus 60 other Alaska Narive artists!

This might be my favorite out of the 2025 designs 😆

Come see me on Sunday at the ANHC Holiday Bazaar 10am - 5pm where I’ll have hand painted ornaments, magnets, keychains and more!

I first painted the Glenn Highway Christmas Tree in 2019. I always look forward to seeing this tree. It’s an iconic beam of light in every commuters dark drive.

Quyana, Tolstrup family for keeping this tradition alive.

🎉 I hope to see you there!

I am forever inspired to paint The Scream face when I get pieces of wood in this shape or find rocks this shape 🖤

Quyana to everyone who came out to the Sedna Inuit Mythology Exhibit while it was on display and for your kind words 🥹

Sedna Inuit Mythology Art Show is displayed in the Alaska Pacific University Grant Hall, Conoco Phillip’s Gallery through September 30th.

I’m thrilled to have three pieces on display. The exhibit is beautiful and I can’t wait for everyone to see it.
