On canvas, Renelle White Buffalo transforms traditional Lakota symbolism into contemporary abstract artwork, allowing the composition to create a cross-cultural conversation. The bold and confidently-layered brushstrokes of acrylic paint incorporate personal meaning and connections to her Native American roots. Her work challenges the stereotypes and redefines the perception of being indigenous today, both on and off the reservation.
After growing up in South Dakota, she now currently lives and creates in New York City and exhibits throughout the United States.
