3rd Annual Black Makers and Creatives: Nebula
Share
On February 16th, 2025, I was thrilled to be a part of the 3rd Annual Black Makers and Creatives event in Renton, WA. Huge crowds of black artist, makers, fashion houses and community filled the beautiful event space at the Hyatt, on Lake Washington, with a view of the water and brimming with stunning work by local artisans. The theme "Nebula" spurred me to create to black, sci-fi pieces ,which I hope to turn into a series! It was a day to be inspired and I can't wait to do it again next year!
