kulture klub collaborative

I just completed an artist residency at Kulture Klub Collaborative. This is a non-profit that offers art to homeless youth. The youth are so amazing and very talented.

It opens this Friday, November 7 and will run for 5 weeks. Amazing work celebrating amazing youth!

artist in residency - girl scout camp

I had the great opportunity to be the Artist in Residence for local Girl Scout camp. There were about 100 girls, ranging in age from 6 to 12. They were all amazing!
