Cherokee Painter and Art Educator
About Nina Sequoyah
In 2018, Nina Sequoyah launched the 'Seven Clans Studio Project', a mobile art lab housed in a repurposed Cherokee Nation tribal van, that traveled to six rural Oklahoma communities without access to formal art instruction. She didn’t bring pre-made lesson plans; instead, she co-designed curriculum with elders and youth using syllabary-embroidered sketchbooks, river-cane pigment grinding, and ledger-style storytelling adapted for digital tablets. Her painting 'Tsalagi Asev’i (Cherokee Water Memory)', exhibited at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian in 2022, layered traditional corn-husk dye washes over infrared scans of ancestral land surveys, making visible both soil composition and treaty boundaries in a single chromatic field. Nina teaches not just technique but relational seeing, how a brushstroke holds kinship logic, how negative space echoes the Cherokee concept of 'duyukta' (balance), and why a student’s first watercolor wash must begin with tobacco offering before pigment touches paper.
