Today, I want to share something deeply personal and meaningful.
It’s a story about an extraordinary artist who not only touched my life but left an indelible mark on countless others.
Jaune Quick-To-See Smith, a Native American artist whose journey from hardship to fame is nothing short of inspiring, taught me valuable lessons about resilience, community, and the power of art.
But before you click away, I encourage you to watch the full video where I talk about her incredible journey, the lessons I learned, and how Jaune’s philosophy on art as a “drug of choice” continues to resonate in my own work and life.
Watch the full video and join me in honoring Jaune’s profound legacy.
You won’t want to miss this.
With gratitude,
Crista x
