I was one of the six artist asked to participate in a video explaining what art meant to me. It was a great experience and I was happy to know my photograph was selected to be auctioned off this year. I’ve had great success at the North Carolina of Art and I truly appreciate them for believing in me and my artwork.

Summer Essential:

Madras

There’s a reason why Madras is one of the most popular fabrics to wear during the summer, it’s colorful, versatile, comfortable, and lightweight. But it’s best to wear it as a staple piece and keep the rest of your outfit simple. You don’t want to wear it from top to bottom. Also there’s selvedge madras as well just incase you’re not a fan of the plaid, checkered, or striped patterns and you like more solid colors.
