CURRENT MISSION

An art weaver and explorer using visual art as a connector, creating artist-in-residencies in different communities on different continents and learning from them and sharing them.

ABOUT ME

Since 2009, I have been traveling and doing artist-in-residencies in Ghana, Ecuador, and Vietnam. I have curated international art exhibits in the villages of Adugyama, Ashanti Region , Ghana and Sisid-anejo, Canar, Ecuador and have been participated in international art residencies in Hanoi, Vietnam. I create art installations that respond to the communities and cultures I live in and have exhibited these art installations in the communities I live in and Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A. I also bring books for libraries, make art with children, and connect with other artists.
