Spent the afternoon with Native American artist, painter, weaver, educator, theorist, consultant and all around amazing gal Sara Siestreem for 1859 Magazine. She let me into her space which I found almost sacred, full of her art and paints and inspiration. There were quotes she had written on the walls and just about everything was infused with both a sense of beauty and history. Spending time with her was very peaceful and when I found out she had no cel phone or car, I wasn't surprised. I documented her as she worked and occasionally we would chat about work or boys or life, just like girlfriends. I left the shoot feeling both drained and invigorated with a smile on my face.
