About

A Little About Me:)

As a jewelry and fiber artist, teacher, and wellness advocate, I merge creativity with education and holistic living. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, I graduated from Duquesne University with a degree in Multimedia Technology, minoring in Studio Art. Pittsburgh is also where I met my husband of over 20 years, puppeteer Tarish “Jeghetto” Pipkins. We moved to North Carolina in 2005, along with our son Divine, who was 2 at the time. Since moving to North Carolina, we had two more children Tarin and Noa Rayne.

I have taught art at various schools, and community centers to both kids and adults. I have also sold my items at numerous craft markets and boutiques over the years.

I love blending my passion for jewelry, arts & crafts, graphic design, photography, and holistic living. All of these things captivates me, reflecting my Afro bohemian-inspired aesthetic. My journey is defined by a dedication to artistry, teaching, and promoting well-being through artistic expression.
