Creating has made such a positive impact on Kitauna’s lifestyle. It has opened many new unseen possibilities and has started many new connections. Painting has inspired Kitauna to become certified in teaching asana and yin yoga, as well as studying Mixed Martial Arts, because in these forms of art - one can experience growth, dedication, and appreciation.  

Growing up in the urban streets of Boston has sculpted my resilience empowering my voice to be as big as my art. As an artist, I celebrate the human connection with marks, color, shapes, and sometimes even language. From making an art club in grade-school to selling my first painting at 15, art has always been my still small voice, not only for me but for my community. My art is my freedom, it’s my way to fight back. With my art, I want to bring people together, connecting individuals from all different cultural backgrounds to share in the beauty of the same thing; The Human mark.
