A lifelong artist, with a career in community resource creation, education, entrepreneurship + mentorship, Alisha focuses on combining creative hard skills, practices, and techniques with the soft skills of being human.

She has taught creativity in many forms and mediums in museums, community spaces + studios, hospitals, and NGOs - developing a model of programming and curriculum that allows organizations and spaces to better meet their mission through creativity.

Alisha works with artists to support their self growth and emotional health through their artistic practice, and teaches arts educators how to use creativity to address needs in their neighborhoods and communities.

As a weaver, she uses frame looms of varying sizes and responsibly sourced natural fibers from Portugal or collected from creative reuse centers. We’ll be working with a frame loom and these fibers for the workshop!
