Brown Sugar: Installation Day BTS
Putting together a show is not as easy a process as it may look on the outside. Itโs paint-stained clothes, long nights, shifting plans, and heavy lifting. But beneath all that is love for your craft, for the culture, for the chance to create something that speaks to your community.
Come experience Brown Sugar at @atlanticgallerynyc during the month of August
Free prints for visitors while supplies last!
Opening night is this Thursday at 6pm.
Feat fresh coconuts, wine and honey favors by @beefavorednyc while supplies last
A special thank you to @vibefitness.ny for sponsoring installation day, @beefavorednyc for sponsoring opening night favors curation statement wall and postcards, and @designbrandprint for sponsoring our Vinyl signage

March dump!
What a month of collaboration!
My birthday month!
I took an amazing class with @shradhakochhar and learned to draw with yarn! The @newyorkcityfc season has started, so my weekends are full of soccer with @pgkeating . Got to hang out with my sis @sydneyhixon in GA.
Huge thanks to @nortemaar and @magali.jv for the opportunity to make my work come to life โค๏ธ
And shout out to the beautiful @elisabeth_archer and @molly000001 for using my artwork in such a way that I want it to keep going!
@love.lenalove and I had been wanting to collaborate for so long so thank you @warriormamma and @reclamationartshow for making that happen! If you are in Atlanta, make sure to head to Tri-Cities Tattoo to see the beautiful piece!
Iโve been having fun with yarn and clay, still experimenting and playing ๐
So much more on the horizon. I canโt wait to share!
#collaborate #artfriends #southasianart #playingwithyarn
