From: Kalamazoo, MI, and raised in Atlanta, GA. I have been creating since I could walk. I used to take my parents' shoes, use anything I could find as jewelry, get a paper bag and use it as a tote, filling it with items from all over the house; these were some of the first outfits I styled at the age of 4. I learned to sew in middle school and have been doing so since. I love starting with raw materials, nothing, and turning them into wearable art. Making people feel and recognize their beauty brings me joy and is one of my purposes in life. Thank you for the opportunity to do just that today. If my work sells, I will use the funds from my art to do two things: 1) give to a Godly purpose, whether that be someone in need or tithe. 2) To buy art supplies so I can continue creating beauty.
