Today was truly special. We got to be part of a community art project by that will be displayed in Macon, Georgia, in Mvskoke homelands. We created clay tiles made from clay harvested from the homelands themselves. .creates guided us through the process and showed us how to shape the tiles and stamp them with the Mvskoke knot.

We also got to dedicate one of the tiles to Sutv, which made it even more special for us.

Can’t wait to see the finished piece come together. Mvto Jessi and Starr for inviting us to be part of it. Stay tuned for updates.

Also, shout out to for always helping with projects and supporting 4MC and Jessi! We appreciate you, Andrew!

Meet the Artist: Carly Treece (Mvskoke/Cherokee)

We’re honored to feature the work of Carly Treece in Ripple in Traditions, a traveling exhibition curated by Four Mothers Collective.

Carly is a multidisciplinary artist, curator, and community advocate residing on the Mvskoke Nation in Oklahoma. Working primarily in oil and cold wax, her abstract paintings explore emotional and spiritual relationships to land in Indian Territory, layering texture, mineral elements, and gesture to reflect memory, sovereignty, and place.

Treece’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. Her artwork has appeared in FX’s Reservation Dogs, received recognition from the Indian Health Care Resource Center, and been included in major art markets and exhibitions across the country.

In addition to her studio practice, Treece is the Founder and Creative Director of Four Mothers Collective, an Indigenous women-led arts organization based in Tulsa that amplifies the voices of Indigenous women and Two-Spirit artists through exhibitions, public programs, and community-centered initiatives.

She has curated exhibitions in Tulsa and Santa Fe featuring both established and emerging Indigenous artists, with a focus on narrative sovereignty and cultural continuity. Treece also consults with universities and cultural institutions on Indigenous-led curatorial practices and community-centered exhibition models.

She was recently appointed the 2026 Mellon-funded Curator in Residence at 101 Archer Gallery for the project Democracy and Sovereignty in Indian Country.

Carly’s piece, Generational Voices, featured in Ripple in Traditions, pays homage to Joan Hill’s Women’s Voices at the Council, reimagining the powerful legacy of Mvskoke women who have long shaped the social, political, and cultural landscape of their communities.

Through this work, Treece honors the strength and wisdom of Mvskoke women and reflects on the enduring role of women within Tribal governance and community leadership.

Native-led organizations receive only around 0.4% of philanthropic funding in the U.S., despite doing critical work for our communities every single day. That’s one of the reasons Four Mothers Collective is part of GiveNative.org.

At Four Mothers Collective, community is at the center of everything we do. Through workshops, artist talks, exhibitions, youth programming, and community gatherings, we work to create spaces where Indigenous artists and communities feel supported, represented, safe, and connected.

Supporting Native-led organizations means investing directly into communities doing the work for their own people. Every donation helps us continue creating accessible opportunities for artists, families, and future generations.

If you believe in Indigenous art, storytelling, community care, and creating space for Native voices to thrive, we hope you’ll support and share our fundraiser. Even sharing this post helps us reach more people.

Mvto always for supporting Indigenous-led work. ❤️

Meet the Artist: Carmen Wiley (Mvskoke)

We’re honored to feature the work of Carmen Wiley in Ripple in Traditions, a traveling exhibition curated by Four Mothers Collective.

Carmen is a Mvskoke writer and multidisciplinary artist from southeastern Oklahoma whose work examines the relationships between land, lineage, sovereignty, and memory. Drawing on critical theory, Indigenous scholarship, and legal texts, her practice translates complex theoretical ideas into visual and literary forms accessible outside academic institutions.

Wiley’s work is grounded in the belief that knowledge should not be gated by the specialized language or institutional barriers of academia. Through material processes such as pattern drafting, sewing, and hand construction, she reworks scholarly texts into objects that reinterpret theory through Indigenous memory while exposing the systems of power embedded within language and law.

Working in the liminal space between scholarship, art, and storytelling, Wiley confronts difficult political and historical realities with clarity, sincerity, and emotional resonance.

She currently lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with her cat.

Carmen’s works, PUHOCEFKV COKVN OHSAKTES: We Signed Our Names on the Papers and Wired Shut, reflect Indigenous sovereignty, colonial violence, and the ongoing impacts of systems that attempt to regulate and silence Indigenous peoples and bodies.

Through textile, poetry, historical references, and material symbolism, Carmen’s work confronts the lasting effects of colonization while honoring Indigenous resilience, survival, and community.

You can view Carmen’s work as part of Ripple in Traditions, now on view at the Mid-America All-Indian Museum.

Meet the Artist: Irene Creek (Mvskoke)

We’re honored to feature the work of Irene Creek in Ripple in Traditions, a traveling exhibition curated by Four Mothers Collective.

Irene is a citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and a beadwork artist creating both contemporary and traditional designs. She is known for her intricately beaded collars and ribbon skirts that honor Muscogee cultural teachings while embracing modern expression.

Irene’s piece, Where the River Flows, featured in Ripple in Traditions, is a contemporary interpretation of a traditional Southeastern beaded collar created with Glass Czech seed beads and shells.

Blending contemporary design with traditional forms, the work reflects the continuation and evolution of Southeastern Indigenous beadwork practices.

You can view Irene’s work as part of Ripple in Traditions, now on view at the Mid-America All-Indian Museum.

Meet the Artist: Okcate Evita Smith McCommas (Mvskoke)
We’re honored to feature the work of Okcate Evita Smith in Ripple in Traditions, a traveling exhibition curated by Four Mothers Collective.

Okcate is the Mvskoke word for scarlet. Though it was chosen as her name from a CreekDictionary before she was born, Okcate entered this world at dawn in Aurora, Colorado, wailing like a fire engine, brick red, and sporting ginger hair. The name fit! To this day, she strives to be as bold as her name. Her art reflects her lived experiences through vivid chroma, distinct shapes, various textures, and evocative poetry and music.

A lifelong multi-media artist, Citizen of the Mvskoke Nation with Purépecha, Scottish, and Eastern Band Cherokee ancestry, Okcate approaches art as a powerful tool of expression and an agent of change. Through her work, she addresses intergenerational trauma and celebrates the sacred relationship between Body and Land.

She grew up in the Ancestral Homelands of the Mvskoke in Georgia. Her respect and appreciation for nature grew from daily exposure to the power of the ocean and the delicate balance of the marshland ecosystems. She learned firsthand that respecting and protecting the balance of Mother Earth is essential for the health and survival of all beings.

Okcate approaches each project with the utmost thought and care, and each piece is brought from idea to fruition with throughlines and backstories for the shapes, content, colors, and medium. She is influenced by a great deal of loss and survivalism, and she uses that pain to bring awareness, thoughtfulness, imagination, and positivity into the world.

Okcate’s piece, Sew the Seeds: Three Generations, reflects the role of women as carriers of knowledge across generations. Through hand-painted earrings representing Grandmother, Mother, and Daughter, the work honors the ways Native women have protected and carried culture despite forced assimilation and removal from their homelands.

You can view Okcate’s work as part of Ripple in Traditions, now on view at the Mid-America All-Indian Museum.
