Beyale was raised in the Four Corners of New Mexico, where he attended the University of New Mexico and received his BFA in printmaking. Currently, JayCee resides in Denver, where he is a 2023-2025 Resident Artist at Redline Contemporary Art Center in the RiNo Art District.
His career as an artist began with his discovery of street art and graffiti. Using a combination of spray paints and acrylics, he celebrates the fusion of technology with Indigenous culture, primarily in paintings and murals.
JayCee’s work is deeply influenced by music, while the combination of traditional Indigenous ideologies with his Buddhist practice of Nichiren Buddhism is equally important to his artmaking, through which he strives to illuminate core concepts and convictions: the Laws of Movement, Unity and Impermanence.
