"Painting is my way to communicate the meaningful, the beautiful and the amazing things I see. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to share through art – whether it’s something as simple as the way sunlight warms the corner of a room or as complex as the story of how a Native tribe lost its way of life. The passion I feel when my eye sees how the story can be told in images is a great motivation. I want to tug at your sleeve, point and say, “Look, look! Let me show you the wonder of it!” Jenness Cortez, 2015
