"Her work is not easily categorizable (is she a modern traditionalist? a tradition-oriented modernist? do these labels matter anymore?) and she is a teacher, writer, lecturer, and activist. Furthermore, like so many artists working today - Native or otherwise - her modes of production are flexible and situational: she is a painter whose work expands into performance, sculpture, architecture, and is often highly conscious of, if not driven by, a variety of textual fields, including aesthetics, anthropology, feminism, the natural sciences, and the politics of cultural identity."
