Mayajon is an artist, griot, spiritual healer and medicine woman trained in the lineage of her indigenous bloodline of Mayan, Inca, Native American and Afro-indigenous beliefs and practices. Ancestral worship through songs and ceremony are the core of her community practice and allow her to maintain cultural practices with honor respect and trustworthiness while heightening her ability to assist and communicate with spirit. She work across modalities of Ifa, Agnihotra, and Vegetalismo while using the media of acrylic paint, beadwork and film to codify and document her storytelling.

Mayajon was born to a family of artists in Harlem N.Y. and growing up in the eighties and nineties posed many challenges that art helped her navigate through. It also made her question if New York was the city she needed to reside in to develop her artistic voice.

It was not, and at the age of 19, she moved to New Orleans an old city with deep roots in art and history. For the last two decades she has made New Orleans her home, and her work represents a visual diary of her life’s journey with focus on spirituality and community. As of late she resides in Harlem her birth place.
