Mahyue, inspired by the Bassa (Liberian) word for ‘girl’

Mahyue ['mäh·yo͞o] represents the little girl within me—my inner child—whom I tucked away long ago but who survived hidden in my drawings, sketches, and works of art. Through healing and self-reflection, I reacquainted myself with Mahyue and finally let her run wild and free. Her stories and lessons define who I am today and live within my works as my signature since 2019. As I heal, explore, and create, I share my story to connect with the inner child that lives within us all, each carrying our own fantastical stories to tell.

As such, Mahyue Studios is an interdisciplinary incubator and practice that emphasizes contemporary storytelling through practice, healing, and cultural exchange. Current Mahyue Studios offerings include Community Gatherings and The Mahyue Artist Journal.
