i’m okchvmali. i’m a queer chahta (choctaw) artist, musician, activist, content creator, and tarot reader living in norman, oklahoma. welcome to okchvmali studios!

i’m still learning how to build and customize a website, so expect to see this space change and evolve as i figure it out. mostly, i made this site so I could stop relying on social media as a method to connect with creators and clients.

if you are interested in an art commission, a mural commission, a tarot reading, or anything else in my wheelhouse, send me an e-mail using the link below, or scroll down to my contact form at the bottom of this page. you can also message me on either of my instagram profiles.

can’t wait to hear from y’all! yakoke!
