Colleen Friday is a Northern Arapaho artist and ecosystem scientist from Arapahoe, Wyoming. Friday traces her first artistic influences to her mom and older sisters’ beadwork, and the intense discipline of sorting and stitching tiny beads during evening hours grouped around a table and the laughter of Native women. Friday works in many mediums, from beads to stencils, to aerosol mural painting mixing elements of contemporary art and street art with geometric Arapaho symbols and portraits of historical figures. Her studies in rangeland ecology, environment and natural resources have become interwoven in her creative work. Her most recent project focuses on beadwork as data visualization representing geography, water, and the biodiversity of plants harbored in tribal lands.
