I create Ecofriendly afrocentrist jewelry full of colors because it’s part of me.I’ve always been attracted to beads since childhood.
I use recycled glass from Krobo region,Ghana,Mali Wedding glass drop beads,Cowrie shells,Seeds(Entada Gigas and Coffee Seeds and many others…),wood and many reused metal parts from old jewelry.
I try to make my packaging Ecofriendly too by using tissue paper and fabric ribbon.
I have an MFA and I’ve been painting for almost 10 years.
I use oil on canvas,mixed media like sand,raffia,recycled metal parts,calabash,dried leaves and seeds.
The creation of my shop on Etsy came naturally after i decided to make a business of something i love to do.
I’ve been also gardening for 4 years in a community garden in Crown heights Brooklyn.I learned a lot about organic gardening.
We have butterfly attracting plants,bees,chickens,wild doves,squirrels,flowers,beautiful mulberry huge trees and raised bed for growing vegetables.
