VISUAL & PERFORMING ARTIST              

Narelle Thomas is a visual and performing artist of Springfield,
Massachusetts. She expresses herself mainly by creating works of: poetry, writing, and art, and has fun baking and crafting jewelry.
 She also enjoys capturing moments in photos and engaging in community activism. 

Narelle has many aspirations and feels that people have unlimited potential as long as they don't limit themselves, let others define their success,
 discount their imagination or underestimate reality. 
She incorporates what she receives from nature and social interactions
into her art.

Performance Poet

"There's so much to experience in life so I just try to stay open to living, loving and learning. 
I find my views and interests constantly taking on new forms so I live with this in mind:  
"Free your mind and the rest of you will  follow"  "Make it work and work it"
 "I will share what I find along the way and hope that others will continue to share and build with me as well."

The Godmother of the Nuyorican Poetry Movement: Sandra María Esteves was the featured artist with her visual artwork as well as performing her poetry. http://sandraesteves.com/

I was honored in opening her performance that night as a youth ensemble member of Teatro V!da.
The poem is entitled: The Unmasking of A Natural Beauty
Written & performed by: Narelle Thomas

Crafter

She shares her creations because sharing knowledge and truth helps everyone to be empowered and to grow as people. She hopes that her art will offer ways for people to more effectively communicate with others and themselves. 
"Images and words come to me and I just receive, deliver and present them with my own style. 
Doing this, I feel is my form of reciprocity to  the planet, creator, and ancestors . I don't receive knowledge, images or anything else in life solely for myself; I can grow from and with them but that doesn't mean it's just for me.

surprise.
