Words. Art. Connection.
I am obsessed with catching, revealing and expressing what lives inside my life memory, imagination and dreams.

I see my creative process as healing work and therefore transformative for my audience, community and beyond. I utilize many modalities, visual art in the form of layered printmaking. Words in the form of story, poetry and personal narrative. Combining art and word with performative aspect

A note from Velda.
I feel that I am truly an incredibly blessed person to have been born at a time where it is possible for me to uncover more of who I truly am and manifest it as I feel it coming through me.
I am birthing myself again and again. Then putting parts to rest, peeling the fine layers away, letting go again and again. I continue to find more stillness, strength and clarity as I walk my souls' path with purpose.
I am blessed with courage and the consciousness to face myself.
If I am fortunate, I am left with something to share be it words, art, sound, support, presence, performance or simply the primal essence of my own human nature.
I am honored to share what is, right now, with you here in this moment.
I look forward to connecting.
Velda
