Nancy Ofori

I am a mixed media and textile artist (and more)

A recovering accountant with a 2nd-career as an artist and educator. I have an irrational preoccupation with fibrous materials. My love affair with textiles and craft arts began very early, but I didn’t dare dream of being an artist as a kid.
I was raised in relative poverty in South Central Los Angeles, and had no idea what it meant to be an artist – let alone to work as an artist. So, I was well into adulthood before I finally gave myself permission to discover my design through Creativity.
I now live and work in Houston, TX, with my husband, two children, and one feline grandchild
