This exhibition is about the beauty, humor and laughter, as well as inspiration, this young artist brought to many lives. DeAnna Autumn Leaf Suazo (Taos/Navajo) shows us her view and perspective on life. Her life was short and her passing has brought attention to the social issue of domestic violence that is a prevalent issue in every Native community. While this is only one story of many who became victims of domestic violence, this is an opportunity for all voices to be heard.
