Fiber Artist - Creative Kianga Jinaki

Kianga Jinaki - Fiber Artist
 
I am a self-taught artist. My media of choice are collage, dolls, & quilts. When it is enhancing to what I am creating the written word is also incorporated. The influences of the African diaspora which were prevalent as I grew up in Baltimore, not only shaped me but my art. The love, honor and respect that I have for my heritage permeates my work. Doll making and quilting appeal to me because they are both multi-media constructions that allow me to indulge my love of working with fabric, fibers, and embellishments.
