Making Twilight Off The Bow

I invited friends to my studio to wrap yarn, recycled sari thread, ribbon onto cotton rope. 
5 people imbued their essence and became a part of the rope, as we discussed the trials and tribulations of our hair.
Finding a common denominator amongst us all, HAIR.

I have been working towards leaving corporate life I have been working towards leaving corporate life and actively leaning into my artist self for some time now… The time has finally arrived to be fully focused on art and family…and I could not be more excited for what is to come. First things first, packing up a container in Jerz and shipping down to St Croix. I’ll be moving end of July but keeping a showroom for my art in Jersey City… for now #artistlife #nomoremondays #livingmybestlife #StCroixUSVI
