Both of her Tribal heritages, cultures, and lineages are manifested in her two- and three-dimensional artworks that range in size from a few inches to a few feet. She is inspired by her family history of basketry and observing her father and maternal grandmother weave baskets from red willow, honeysuckle vine, and white oak. While her inspiration comes, in part, from Cherokee traditions, her artworks are decidedly contemporary, featuring sharp lines and bold colors. Skye creates to preserve, archive, and share personal and familial stories, Indigenous cultural teachings, and the Cherokee language. Her work is housed in many special collections, including the US Library of Congress, the Met library, and Self Help Graphics\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EDesign meaningful patterns inspired by personal stories using grid paper, and transform them into a unique woven paper artwork.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Design meaningful patterns inspired by personal stories using grid paper, and transform them into a unique woven paper artwork."}],"uid":"36854","created_gmt":"2026-09-03 17:29:34","changed_gmt":"2026-09-03 18:35:25","author":"dsuggs6","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-11-14T10:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2026-11-14T16:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-11-14T16:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-11-14 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-11-14 21:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-11-14 21:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Robert C.
