The Bronx
As of recent I have been expanding my creative work with community based projects. Since 2019 I have been collaborating with many amazing Bronx organizations/companies to bring art, creative events, workshops and murals. I have worked with New York Botanical Gardens, Bronx Council of the Arts, Bronx Art Space, Bronx Bound Books and Bronx Native to provide workshops, art murals plus creative events; all free for the community. I truly enjoy sharing my creative skills in new ways that better my Bronx community and assist residents to tap into their own creativity.
