Started with drawing, to painting, then digital art, some screen printing, then pottery and now textiles like crochet and punch needling. Starting a sticker business, Your Local Plant Mami, in 2022, I began to explore what other mediums I could use to show off my art, and that is how I began punch needling. Punch needle is an art style that once I started, I could not stop!--------------------------------------------------------------------The Alcove Centre for the Arts is a non-profit organization based in Calgary, AB which aims to make art more accessible and promote a vibrant local arts industry.
