When I was little, my mom used to take me to the Boise Art Museum. We’d wander through the exhibitions together, and I remember feeling something awaken, a sense that art was a language I wanted to speak, even before I knew how. It took awhile to understand it and my find my voice, but here I am. Those early visits planted the seed for everything I’m doing now.

So to share that A New Winter will be exhibited at BAM is one of those surreal, full circle moments that makes me pause. A project born from my own experience, from growing up in Idaho between two worlds of culture, where I didn’t always see myself fitting in, to now finding a home in the very museum where I first learned to imagine a different kind of world.

At a time when so many of us feel disconnected, the chance to gather in person and have real, conversations around art feels more important than ever.

So Idaho friends and beyond consider this your invitation: If you’ve ever wanted to see this work in person, mark your calendars, maybe even book a flight if you’re coming from afar, because I would truly love to share it with you. Join us for the opening on Friday, January 30, 2026, at the
@boiseartmuseum from 5:30 to 7:30pm.

I’m deeply grateful to be part of this show, especially alongside another incredible Idaho artist,
@cecirichardson , whose work showcases the beauty and importance of Idaho rivers through large-scale installations.

And I’m honored to be showing my work alongside renowned artist Jeffrey Gibson, the first Indigenous artist to represent the United States with a solo exhibition at the Venice Biennale (often called the Olympics of the art world). His work has inspired me and reshaped how so many of us think about art, visibility, and belonging, and I can’t imagine a more fitting artist for A New Winter to be in conversation with. Hope you can join for the opening or see it while it is up. The exhibition will end in September of 2026. #contemporaryarts #vintageski #vintage #skihistory
