I have been selected as one of 9 artists selected for the 2025 GROW Residency series. The Greensboro Residency for Original Works provides selected artists free studio space for the creation of new work while offering opportunities for the public to engage in the creative process.

•  May 6-June 2, 2025: GROW Artist-in-Residence at GSO Cultural Arts Center, 2nd floor, 200 N. Davie St. 27401

• Facilitating my Mane Curl Press: Put Pen to Paper: Digital Journal Creation Workshop

• Learn graphic design, digital illustration, and creative writing skills to make their own themed journals

Due to a recent lay-off at a non-profit I worked for, I now need support of at least $500 to cover residency prep costs. Even a small donation can make a big difference. Contributing to my upfront programming supplies (which will be reimbursable up to $500 from GROW) would be beneficial since my current funds are to support monthly living expenses while I job search. Your support—whatever you can contribute—will directly fund this transformative project and help me continue sharing the power of creative expression.
