Antelope Valley Indian Museum Hosts Native American Artist Desiree Belone
LANCASTER – California State Parks invites the public to a special event featuring Native American artist Desiree Belone (Ponca/Diné) at the Antelope Valley Indian Museum State Historic Park (SHP) on May 10, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. . Belone will display her art and share insights into her cultural heritage.
Belone is a multifaceted artist, designer, and cultural advocate. She honors and preserves the rich legacies of her diverse heritage that is rooted in the Ponca Nation of White Eagle, Oklahoma, the Dine' (Navajo) Nation, and her maternal Japanese lineage. Her art blends the ancient traditions of her Indigenous roots with contemporary forms of expression. Each piece she creates is imbued with the philosophy of “good medicine,” where natural elements such as shells, crystals, and fur are thoughtfully incorporated to honor the Earth and its healing powers.
