Sara Siestreem has several jobs, no cell phone and no car, allowing her to focus intently on what she cares about most. “I was taught I could do whatever I wanted to do, so I have some big ideas,” she said.
The 38-year-old is a multimedia artist and educator. She teaches studio arts at Portland State University, tribal museum studies at Northwest Indian College in Washington and pre-college painting at Pacific Northwest College of Art. She also serves as a consultant for art institutions in contemporary indigenous fine art, education, and theory and professional arts practices.
