Hello, my name is Josette Young, a Teaching Artist from Hyattsville, MD. Originally from Pedregal San Joaquin Panama. I've developed a fun interactive Dance and art class for children Pre-k to 2nd grades, called Universal Carnival, which came about as I was inspired by my nostalgia and great memories growing up in Panama during Carnival season.

I consider myself the Grandma Moses of fiber art. I waited 60 years to follow my dreams. Using commercial fabrics, ethnic prints, and my own hand-dyed materials, as well as reclaimed and recycled western materials, I create each image; an original product of my own imagination or my interpretation of nature. Methods include traditional quilting, raw-edge appliqué, and fabric mosaics and collage. Fabrications can include fabric, strings, ribbons, buttons, cheesecloth, beads, tulle, lace, suede, and leather with other recycled materials.

I am a 30 year old Independent Artist. I live in the Prince George’s county area and I travel all over the DMV instructing Sip and Paint parties and doing face painting.
I am a local artist, and I have performed in the DMV area over the past years. I perform a range of gospel/R&B music in the DMV area. I have not been able to sing in clubs, restaurants/bar settings, theaters, arenas, or entertainment establishments due to COVID 19. It has become a huge struggle to survive without being able to benefit from singing engagements. Any assistance provided at this time will be of great help to me and my family.
