Artists Are Sacred Space & So Is Their Creativity
A few years ago, I was toiling along as a single Black mother of five young Black boys. I thought to myself "What would I want right now if I could have it?". I had my aha moment in that moment. I wanted a block of time, in a peaceful space to create artwork that would be meaningful for me while producing some new children. Art children! Oh! And I wanted it in a different space. Away from my daily hustle. 
“I created the sacred, creative support I would have wanted.” We as the keeper of time through creating, are sacred and so is our creative practice. It should be honored.

My first love was my art...and I nurtured it. 
I am not more special than any other creative with an urge to make from the spirit. I AM a fighter determined to have my first love outside of my Dad and that love is artmaking. Activating the energy that speaks to my spirit whether it be painting, writing, cooking, baking, dancing (and if only I could sing!). Not everyone has the bandwidth to do the research and fill out the application...but I do! 

With all the challenges life offers, I have always refused to sacrifice the part of myself that needed to create. It may not have always shown up as a painting or quilt or traditional medium, but I've learned to express through my cooking, writing or experimenting with adding my creativity to everyday mundane activities. I determined that the innate ability to use my creativity as a vehicle for expression was my birthright. I was... AM worthy of the time and space needed to allow my creative self to shine through. Let me help you get there as well! Artist services - KOTTAVEI
