Sierra is an Afro-Indigenous multidisciplinary artist, curator and ancestral medicine  practitioner based in Denver. Her work incorporates a range of mediums including photography, videography, abstraction, immersive installations and storytelling-driven work.

With an extensive background and training in organizing for collective liberation with a Bachelor’s degree in Economics, Sustainability and Peace & Justice studies from Xavier University, and Cameras, Exposure and Photography from the University of Michigan, Sierra blends modern tools with visual art to help her community heal, express and create meaningful experiences.

Sierra’s body of work moves fluidly across cultural, spiritual and sonic landscapes. She has used her lens to capture Janelle Monáe and expressions of Black feminist liberation during The Age of Pleasure Tour, documented ancestral healing practices in Trinidad and Tobago, and curated Drexciya: Into The Deep, an African diasporic art exhibition that is currently on view at Union Hall Art Space. Her work is also currently featured at RedLine Contemporary Art Center in UNSEEN, where she used her lens to document the sacred lives of Palestinian families. 

As an Afro-indegenous artist, she feels a deep responsibility to honor her ancestors and use her gifts in service of truth, justice, and collective liberation. Ancestral memory functions as a guiding force in her work. Her approach to creation is an act of listening—attuning to what has been passed down through bloodlines and stories. This allows her work to feel timeless, while existing in conversation with the past, present and future. 

Sierra’s creative mission is grounded in the belief that art has the power to not only reveal but to restore—to serve as a tool for healing, remembering, and dreaming new futures into being. Her work is deeply rooted in emotional resonance, operating as both a visual language and a felt experience. Her practice is not only about what is seen, but about what is remembered, felt, witnessed and reawakened in the body. Each project holds space for grief, tenderness, resilience, and reverence—emotions that are often inherited across generations and embedded in lived experience.

Viewers of her work often describe a sense of being held—invited to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with parts of themselves that may have been fragmented or neglected. Whether creating artwork or curating experiences, Sierra approaches her practice with humility and intention—resulting in a cohesive style that bridges visual art, healing, and liberation in a way that feels both personal and collective, timeless and contemporary.
