Visit one of my creations "Winnowing Hands". Designing this sculpture was one of the most meaningful things I have ever done. Anyone can visit and enjoy its beauty. It can take your mind off of the negatives of the world, even if it's only for a short time.

This is a one of a kind basket from my Gullah Connection Collection. It was handmade by a basketmaker in Sierra Leone and myself. We are sewn together forever.

Sweetgrass Baskets are getting more & more recognition. As a Gullah Sweetgrass Basketmaker, I am proud to see the tradition in a Hallmark film.

It's the grand opening for the International African American Museum (IAAM) in Charleston, SC. This is possible because of my ancestors and their knowledge and skills of growing rice and making baskets.
