I am a visual artist working in collage, assemblage sculpture and altered books. My practice explores identity, memory and the history of the African diaspora. Vintage and contemporary images collide to convey how the past informs the present.

Day 16

I'm grateful for the chance to see Act Two of the fall Best of the Northwest art fair. Not only did I get to see more art and purchase a thing or two, I ran into one of my own collectors!

Say hi to Mary, who took home one of my prints during the October Best of the Northwest.

P.S. Mary says she's grateful for having come to both halves of the fall show too. Share with the class! Email me at yolisalisa at gmail and tell me what's making you feel grateful at the moment.
