Hello all!

I loved seeing all of you for the opening of my month-long gallery showing at the CoCreative Center!

Come by for the closing celebration of my gallery! Enjoy art and music by my fellow Cape Verdean artists Ze Rui and Candida Rose.

The show explores the relationship between poetry and imagery. It will consist of paintings inspired by my poetry in my book: Essence, Tones, Whispers, Shouts.

Until then my art is for display, to go and see in person!

137 Union street, New Bedford, MA

Hope to see you then!

The workshop explores the fluid relationship between poetry and imagery. The interactive workshop will take participants on a journey between the different artforms looking at different ways to transition from one art form to another, creating and learning how to enhance each one along the way.
