Mayake Lewis (Tohono O’odham) is a multidisciplinary artist. Lewis comes from the small, secluded village of Ventana on the Tohono Odom nation in Arizona. She is informed by her heritage and culture; her artwork is an extension of both environmental influences and cultural narratives. Her art primarily focuses on the environment of her reservation, closely studying the animals, plants, and landscapes to show the beauty as well as the militarized reality behind it.
