#NatalieBall is a Klamath/Modoc interdisciplinary artist based in Chiloquin, Oregon. Born in Portland, Oregon, she is enrolled in the #Klamath Tribes. She is also of #AfricanAmerican, #Modoc, and #AngloAmerican descent. She is a descendant of #Kientpaush, also known as #CaptainJack (1837–1873), the chief who led the Modocs to fight the United States in the 1872 Modoc War. Her grandfather was a painter, and her aunt Peggy Ball, was a quiltmaker. Her family moved from Klamath lands to Portland, Oregon, after the Klamath Termination Act was passed in 1954. She has three children, including daughter Lofanitani Aisea. She earned her bachelor's in art and ethnic studies from the University of Oregon, and her master's degree in Maori Visual Arts from Massey University in Palmerston North, New Zealand. She earned her MFA from #Yale University School of Art in painting and printmaking in 2018. Her many awards include the MRG Foundation's Lilla Jewel Fund Award, Santo Foundation Award, and Oregon Arts Commission's Joan Shipley Award (2016). Also in 2016, the Oregon Arts Commission named her an Individual Artist Fellow. In 2018, the Seattle Art Museum gave her the Betty Bowen Award. In 2019, Crow's Shadow Institute of the Arts awarded her a Golden Spot Residency Award. 🏴🇺🇸 #nativeamericanheritagemonth #wcw #mixedgirl https://www.instagram.com/p/CWq8vC2l76i/?utm_medium=tumblr
