Cheatham (Muskogee Creek/Choctaw) is an award-winning ceramic artist who credits pottery as a grounding creative influence during her decades-long acting career. “I grew up digging clay from Oklahoma and Texas creek beds for my doll’s dishes and dried them in the sun. Now I fire them in a kiln! My Muskogee Creek/Choctaw heritage shows in my work. Every pot I throw and paint is an expression of my love of the earth,” she says.
