From Canvas to Community:

Over the years, my purpose has deepened. What began as a personal journey in art has grown into a mission: to uplift BIPOC artists—especially women—whose voices and visions have long been underrepresented. My work is no longer just about what I create, but about how I can create access, agency, and opportunity for others.

​

Gratitude, to me, is a practice. It shows up in action, in community, and in the spaces we build together.

As I continue my own creative path, I remain committed to mentoring and investing in the next generation of BIPOC artists.

​

Through We Art St. Pete, I’m working to create spaces where artists feel seen, supported, and empowered—where inclusion isn’t an afterthought, but the foundation.

Thank you for walking alongside me on this journey. Your support helps us all rise.

​

With love and creativity,
Vivia
