A former semi-pro wrestler with a small but dedicated fanbase. Her on-stage persona is a lot meaner than she is and it's very hard to make her angry. She takes her profession very seriously and trains every single day. Her dad is a gardener in the lower city, and has a lot of knowledge (and love) for flowers as a result.

Cherokee Rivercane Mat - Artist unknown - Date Unknown
Mats such as these were traditionally used for covering walls and floors, providing decoration or insulation. During outdoor ceremonies, mats were used to cover the ground or benches to serve as rugs or seating. In some native communities, mats were used to wrap the dead.
While this woven mat is traditional, its design is an adaptation. What remains from tradition is the form, material, the single weave technique, and the mat's coloration. The Serpent design is a 20th century adaptation, but is a popular motif among Eastern Band Cherokee today.
Walnut hulls were used to dye the rivercane and to achieve the dark brown color. In this particular Serpent (or Snake) design, the "serpents" run diagonally cross the mat. This design is traditional among the Chitamacha of Louisiana and may be an adaptation.
For anyone curious what they mean by the rubber duck, rubber duck debugging is a tactic used by programmers to figure out bugs in the code. To do it, they explain the code, verbally, line by line, to the rubber duck until they find it.
It’s also very useful for writers, and I’ve used it multiple times with rubber ducks, stuffed animals, and my friends.
I literally cannot count the number of times I’ve gone to someone and told them ‘I can’t figure out what’s wrong with my story, please let me explain it to you’ and that was all it took. Sometimes they ask helpful questions like ‘did you remember to feed them’ or ‘so is this all on the same day’ but other times I don’t even need that, it just figures itself out as soon as I try to explain it to someone else.
It’s one of my go-to pieces of writing advice. You’re stuck on your story? sit down and tell me/someone all about it.
This is sort of an experimental piece that I've been excited to share for a while!! Mourning doves are common near me, and I always get a nice feeling of calmness when I hear them in the early morning, singing while perched on the powerlines outside. This illustration is dedicated to that feeling.

How did I cope with more than forty tornadoes touching down in my state overnight? Hunker down in the basement and paint tornadoes while hoping my house doesn't blow away!
Here’s our first post in a series from our current exhibit, “Woven Worlds: The Contemporary Tradition of Storytelling through Weaving.” We will be sharing a series of posts to explore each of the included artworks in more depth.
Rhiannon ‘Skye’ Tafoya (b. 1989) is an interdisciplinary artist from the Eastern Band of Cherokee and the Santa Clara Pueblo Tribes.
She employs printmaking, digital design, and basketry techniques in creating her artist’s books, prints, and paper weavings. Both of her Tribal heritages, cultures, and lineages are manifested in her two- and three-dimensional artworks that range in size from a few inches to a few feet. She is inspired by her family history of basketry and observing her father and maternal grandmother weave baskets from red willow, honeysuckle vine, and white oak. While her inspiration comes, in part, from Cherokee traditions, her artworks are decidedly contemporary, featuring sharp lines and bold colors.
Skye creates to preserve, archive, and share personal and familial stories, cultural knowledge, and the Cherokee language. (from the artist’s website)
Weaving is integral to storytelling across the globe. This exhibit highlights the many ways in which Indigenous and diasporic communities use weaving to support lifeways, record history, and celebrate culture. Weaving is a diverse practice traversing fiber arts, basketry, beadwork, and more. The exhibit is open to Harvard ID holders only.
