Felina Martin has reinvented herself to pursue her childhood dream of becoming a fashion designer. Her work has been shown in galleries, and publications and worn on the fashion runway. Inspired by her love of color, community, and culture, she designs clothing from her artist’s impression of diversity, equity, and inclusion reflected in her paintings. The combination of art, fashion, and a cause has given birth to the wearable art brand, Pamoja Na.

 

Using her original art as the basis, she transposes the work onto fabric, leading to another dimension of art: fashion design. With the use of the latest technology, the artwork is transferred to fabric which Felina then uses to design and sew original garments. The wearable art is also imprinted on pre-designed clothing through a partnering manufacturer.
