Deonoveigh is Diné, Red Bottom people and African American from Chinle, AZ.
 
She is known for her colorful storytelling paintings. Her art is a beautiful blend of both her cultures and a celebration of her Afro-Indigenousness.
 
Deonoveigh’s images are inspired by people in her life, childhood memories growing up on the Navajo Nation, and driven by her love of storytelling. 
 
She credits her ability to embrace both her cultures through art. “I could be anything and anyone I wanted through art; I could be myself.”
 
Through sharing her art, Deonoveigh has learned art can created a connection between people of different cultures. 
 
Deonoveigh hosts Paint parties. In this way she can continue to inspire others to connect with themselves and their culture.
