I am a textile folk artist born in New York (1995), raised in Atlanta, Georgia, by way of the West Indies. I work from my home studio in Brooklyn.
My practice spans quilting, doll-making, and puppetry, using textile traditions as vessels for storytelling, memory, and embodied cultural knowledge. Through relationships with fellow artists and participation in exhibitions and cultural programming, I have come to understand my work as part of a living continuum of folk arts, engaged pedagogy, and Sankofa—the Akan principle of "going back and retrieving what has been forgotten" in order to build a more intentional future.
My work engages the displacement of my diasporic lineage, particularly how communities preserve and transform identity, culture, and home across generations and geographies. I am deeply interested in what dominant institutions dismiss as "informal" knowledge, which I understand as vital archives of memory, pride, and creative possibility—embedded in our homes, clothing, language, rituals, labor, foodways, spiritual practices, and family histories.
I am interested in studying the origins and functions of these practices as I imagine new frameworks for responding to our contemporary conditions. Through theatrical works and developmental tools, I hope to expand how people relate to themselves and their environments by creating forms that invite questioning, make space for alternative possibilities, and equip participants with tools to articulate their experiences and ground their sense of belonging in the world, building toward more sustainable, community-centered futures.
