Little Cloud Studio is an Indigenous woman-owned business founded in 2024 by Skye Little Cloud and her mother, Jane Little Cloud. As the studio's leading artist, Skye Little Cloud's artwork serves as a voice for Indigenous peoples. As a Samoan and Dakota individual, Little Cloud's muse has always been her tribal culture. However, she continues to seek inspiration beyond her tribal affiliation and dives into the stories and values of other Indigenous peoples across Turtle Island. Little Cloud Studio allows Indigenous fine artists to share their practice while being a voice for their people. With Little Cloud utilizing art as a form of activism, this value has been omnipresent throughout the studio. 

 

Little Cloud's work has been displayed in exhibitions such as the Denver Art Museum, the United States Capitol Building in Washington, DC, the Fort Collins Museum of Art, The Dairy Arts Center in Boulder, CO, the Longmont Library in Longmont, CO, and the Firehouse Art Center in Longmont, CO. The 2022 Firehouse Art Center exhibit was Little Cloud's first stepping stone into the gallery. Her most recent exhibition is Modern Matriarch: Knowledge Keepers at the Dairy Arts Center in the Creative Nations Gallery. This exhibition runs until October 18th, 2025. She served as the head curator for this exhibition and also as a featured artist. Her curatorial vision for this exhibition was to return to Indigenous knowledge that is held by the Indigenous women of our communities. Little Cloud aims to illume the voices of knowledge keepers through Modern Matriarch and have the exhibition gift the viewer with the visual languages of each exhibiting artist. 

​

At the core of Little Cloud's artistic practice lies a commitment to decolonization, the reclamation of Indigenous lands, and the preservation of Mother Earth. Through her art, she seeks to challenge the dominant narratives that have silenced and erased Indigenous voices and to create a space for the resurgence of Indigenous perspectives. Ultimately, Skye's art celebrates Indigenous beauty and resistance, pays tribute to Indigenous cultures' power to thrive in the face of colonization, and calls for honoring and upholding Indigenous communities' rights and sovereignty.
