Hello, my name is justN. I’m a stay at home father and artist who has been working on a documentary(directing, editing, interviewing, and scoring) about my aunt, Native American artist, C. Maxx Stevens. I’ve put all of my savings into this project and unforeseen circumstances have cut into my budget making it unlikely for me to complete it, so today, on our birthday (we share a birthday), I am asking for some help in order to finish it.

Taken from her Wikipedia: C. Maxx Stevens (born 1951) is an installation artist from the Seminole/Mvskoke Nation of Oklahoma. She often uses found objects and ephemera in her work which is centered on the concept of memories and stories. Stevens' work has been described as"gritty and "both haunting and familiar" and prior installations have focused on the contemporary Native American experience such as the harmful effects of diabetes in Native American communities. Background She earned an associate degree from Haskell Indian Junior College, a Bachelor of Arts from Wichita State University, and a Master of Fine Arts from Indiana University Bloomington. Stevens was the academic dean in the Center for Arts and Cultural Studies at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, from 2002 to 2005. She is an assistant professor of art at the University of Colorado Boulder, where she also serves as foundation arts director for the art and art history department. Amongst many other places, she also taught at the Art Institute of Chicago.
