Jarifuller

Hi! I’m Jakia, a multi-disciplinary visual artist who’s living a life full of adventure, creating art and spaces that brings a smile to people’s faces. Born and raised in Detroit, MI, and Rio Rancho, NM, and currently based in Albuquerque, NM.

Through continuous exploration and not limiting myself to a medium or style, I’m to creating work that is accessible to people, work that they can engage with, reflect on, be surrounded by, and lastly, bring a smirk or smile to their faces.

I’m excited about (drum roll);

Implementing and maintaining circularity into my process and practice
creating art for children that they can enjoy and be surrounded by in their homes, schools, and public spaces
creating work that informs and brings awareness about the oceans and marine life conservation and preservation
developing STEAM curriculum activities and events for youth in my local community
collaborating with individuals to create authentic wardrobes from what they currently have
Continuing cultivating, developing, and maintaining the following communities
- African American Graphic Designers – AAGD
- Earthseed Black Arts Alliance
