Join Heidi Brandow for the opening reception of New Works, the Santa Fe-based artist's first solo show at form & concept gallery.
Hailing from a long line of Native Hawaiian singers, musicians and performers on her mother’s side and Diné storytellers and medicine people on her father’s side, Brandow's artistic career came naturally. The artist draws inspiration from everyday life and international travels, distilling a myriad of cultural influences into powerful—yet playful—creations. By questioning authority and deconstructing mainstream assumptions of Native Americans, Brandow’s work concerns discovering, defining, and redefining personal identity.
