Abstract
This studio-based thesis explores the experiences of a black immigrant woman as they migrate from the Caribbean to the United States of America. An exploration through artmaking addresses the impact of these experiences on a social, economic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal relationship level. This thesis examines how the implications of these experiences affect a teaching artist’s life using them as inspirations and motivations while also discussing their impact. Not only is it impactful to a visual arts educator with these specific experiences explored as they navigate teaching, but especially also in teaching to a specific immigrant/refugee demographic of students.
