Hello, I'm Femi

In college, I found my love of Printmaking. It was a dream to explore silkscreen, lithography, monoprint, relief print and letterpress.  I love the smell of inks, the history and the repetition of printmaking. After graduation, I transitioned to a retail job in the Creative Services Department of Ralph Lauren with hopes of finding graphic design work within the company. Instead, I ended up in Manhattan and then Brooklyn where I honed my skills in managing website and graphic design projects with two separate firms.

However, I missed getting my hands dirty and took art classes at night. Hob’art, a local art co-op in Hoboken, became a wonderful source of friendship and allowed me to exhibit my artwork locally.  I left the design world for a few years to help my husband launch his own financial advisory firm in Hoboken while we began our family.

Once we outgrew our studio apartment we moved to the Hudson Valley where I helped my husband relocate & rebrand his business. In his extra space I established an art gallery exhibiting local artists work as well as my own. I experimented with acrylic, linocut and screenprinting. After years of working with my husband, volunteering in my kids school, and working with local non-profits I dedicated time to pursue my passion for textile design.  

I’ve always enjoyed attending women’s retreats as a way to reconnect to my passions and try to discover my purpose.  Being able to retreat into yourself is such a gift especially when you are experiencing transitions in identity.  I’m so grateful for the women who organize these events…and now I’m ready to do the same for others.
