She loves spending time with those she loves and has a strong bond with her family. Much of Buffie’s work is greatly influenced by family, cultural connections, spirituality and relationships.
Buffie can express herself wholeheartedly through her artwork. She believes art is one of the greatest tools to help with any mental and emotional issues. Buffie has always loved painting, drawing and experimenting in a variety of art mediums. Through art, she is especially drawn to the challenge of conveying to others how she is influenced by her spirituality, my culture and my life experiences. Buffie uses art as a platform for storytelling.
We all have a story to tell and art is one of the most creative forms to share our stories.
