About

wiʔaac,haʔł sləx̓il,
My name is Franchesca, and I am a proud member of the Snoqualmie Tribe, living and creating in the Pacific Northwest.

My family comes from many places, and though my roots run deep in Washington, my spirit carries the stories of generations who navigated displacement, resilience, and reclamation. At the time of my birth, my mother was sixteen, living in the projects. From those beginnings, I learned that beauty and strength can rise from anywhere.

Unlike other Tribes, our people did not have a reservation, and many of us were forced to live outside traditional norms. Those experiences shaped my perspective and the way I walk in the world through my culture, spirituality, and creativity in my work and more importantly my authentic presence.

NewLyfe.Artistry

To me, NewLyfe.Artistry represents living unapologetically authentic

embodying art as existence and existence as art.
It’s about breaking illusions born from fear and reclaiming purpose through truth, healing, and creative freedom.

I don’t claim to be a role model.
I’m just me.
But if any of my experiences or words can serve as nugget along your path, then the work is already doing what it’s meant to do.

With love,
A Black Indian 🖤🦬
