Right Coast Wahine: Art

In school, I am learning that the elements of art are known … Continue reading Right Coast Wahine: Art

Right Coast Wahine: Summer Travels

This summer I had the chance to switch things up a bit. Instead of staying in my hometown, I traveled out west to New Mexico to see my best friend, Mianda, who recently moved there and to have an adventure in a place I’ve never been.  Colorado was by far my favorite state we went through! I was lucky enough to visit Mesa Verde National … Continue reading Right Coast Wahine: Summer Travels
