Bio:
Sandrine Malary was born and raised in Port-au-Prince, and is part of a new generation of Haitian artists who maintain close ties to their motherland and its culture. She has a degree in Psychology from the George Washington University, which she uses to relate to her community and to parent. She is a mother of 4 children. Two home-birthed in Ayiti and two in Oakland, CA. With self-sustenance as a life approach, Sandrine has homeschooled her kids, built a home garden and created home-based on-line businesses as an artist and educator. Keeping her roots strong, she dances Haitian folklore, teaches Kreyol and her art is very inspired by Vodou. Much of her focus is to uplift, not just Ayiti, but women, black people, and our planet. Sandrine advocates for green, sustainable living with a focus on health and wellness. You can often find her walking local trails with her group “Sistas on the Trail,” creating therapeutic copper jewelry, or working on her upcoming vegan cookbook.
