Today I welcome Mallery Quetawki, Artist-in-Residence with the Community Environmental Health Program at the University of New Mexico College of Pharmacy.

Mallery Quetawki is from the rural Pueblo of Zuni in western New Mexico.  She is the mother of two and shares residence in both Albuquerque and Zuni Pueblo. She received her B.S. in Biology with a minor in Art studio in the summer of 2009 from UNM-ABQ.  She is currently the Artist-in-Residence with the Community Environmental Health Program at the University of New Mexico College of Pharmacy.  Her work with CEHP has focused on tailoring scientific concepts into culturally relatable art and graphics for Native American communities affected by abandoned uranium mines in the United States specifically in the Southwest region of the country.  Her work has recently shifted into creating Covid-19 PSA's and videos for Indigenous communities.
