Meet one of our featured artists for Native American Heritage Month, Diamond Johnson!
Diamond is a black indigenous multidisciplinary artist from the Navajo Nation. She grew up in Tuba City, Arizona, but spent much of her childhood traveling between there and the border town of Flagstaff, Arizona. Her art is a reflection of the desert landscapes of her childhood, her cultural and spiritual teachings, and the turbulence of navigating her mixed identity.
You can view Diamond's work in the Art Studio throughout November!
