About the Teaching Artist:
Skela is an artist who harnesses her “Sanguine Skills” to illuminate even the darkest of days. Sanguine means to be particularly positive in a bad situation and her skills are everything she has picked up on her journey.
Growing up in France and Malawi and having lived all over the world, Skela was stung by the itch to travel and discover the magic of each culture she encounters. The world has become overwhelmingly negative, so her mission is to infuse it with color and joy.
She characterizes her artwork by a style she calls "Skelarizing," a geometrical shell that embodies and explodes with color, nature, and energy. Skela has been creating and exploring her own allegorical mythology, while discussing extinction, pollution, and the plethora of discrepancies on the planet. She considers herself an Artivist at heart.
