Kitana Marie Connelly
Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde
My name is Kitana, I a m the physical representation of TwahnaCreation. As an Indigenous artist I create through the energies of my ancestors, and the Land within the intentions of healing and offering. I had been spiritual of of my life, but always with awareness. My spiritual connection really expanded when I became a caregiver to my brother in 2020.
This period of my life brought on a lot of changes, creating big emotions that I needed to get out. That was the first time I ever tried painting abstractly. I fell in love with the process while I started my healing journey and deviled into my connection to Spirit. I haven’t stopped since.
To this day, TwahnaCreation is my full time pursuit and I use my voice to advocate for healing, mental heath, and connection through artwork.
