, where Worl and her brother would paint skateboarding decks for members of the community who may not have been able to purchase more traditional forms of artwork.
Sharing her art with others is something that matters to Worl. She grew up in a large family that supported her artistic endeavors, and she said that community is essential to her. Her aunt would send her paintbrushes and paints for her to play with, and she was encouraged to practice her creativity. “I’ve never been punished for drawing on the walls,” she said.
“I’m committed to it for the rest of my life, and I’m excited to learn from it and practice it the rest of my life and also share it and pass it on to those who follow me in the next generation.” “It would be weird to be really intentional, like ‘Oh, how am I gonna be Indigenous today?’” She went on to say that sometimes her art is just that: art.
“We don’t have the best history in terms of our relationship, and is an act of turning the table, and changing history by giving the narrative, the story, back to us, to Indigenous artists and people to tell,” she said. “Because we absolutely do want to share our culture, our values, and our art and our language.”And Worl’s art for the new Postal Service stamp certainly accomplishes that.
