ABOUT OUR PARTNERS
NELISE BEY: Nelise is a textile artist, natural dyer, and printmaker living and creating in Brooklyn, NY. Her aesthetic is colorful and pattern-filled, a play on her Caribbean roots. Nelise works mostly with silks and other natural fibers, dyeing and silkscreening them. Her work is tied to the earth, and inspiration often calls when she’s outdoors hiking or foraging in Brooklyn and New York State.
KIMBERLY LEWIS: Kimberly Lewis is a Brooklyn-based artist, designer, and creative disruptor who believes perfection is boring and mess is magic. Molded by her creative studies at Pratt and FIT, she has spent 20+ years bending the edges of what creativity should look like, guiding both adults and kids to unlearn, reimagine, and express themselves freely through art, story, and beautiful chaos.
