Welcome to my studio.
Many creatives wear multiple hats. I'm a social entrepreneur: A commissioned teaching artist in textiles and West African drumming; a social worker where I am an owner in the Benefits Corp #Macrosw, financial activist, and published author. I realize the arts are a critical tool in the development of critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
I've posted below some of my current projects.
Perhaps we can work together!
