Leilani Shaw

Leilani Shaw is Kanien'kehá:ka (Mohawk) from Akwesasne, New York and Cui-ui Ticutta (Northern Paiute) from Pyramid Lake, Nevada. She is a multidisciplinary artist whose work celebrates and explores the complexities of Indigenous identity, particularly through the lens of Indigenous womanhood. Specializing in digital art, murals, and projection mapping, her art blends traditional Indigenous storytelling with contemporary, surrealistic elements.

Rooted in her deep connection with community, Leilani's art honors the resilience, beauty, and evolving roles of Indigenous women. Her work often challenges stereotypes and historical misrepresentations, offering new perspectives on the strength of Indigenous women and the deep-rooted matriarchal relationships that came before us.

With a passion for elevating Indigenous voices, Leilani continues to push the boundaries of her artistic practice, working across various media to reflect the dynamic and evolving nature of Indigenous art.
