Meet Your Instructor: Rickale “Roxy” West
Rickale West, also known as Roxy Wuz Here, is a Houston-based multidisciplinary artist, curator and founder of Roxy Wuz Here Art. With a background in Psychology from Texas Southern University and a lifelong passion for mental health awareness, creativity and personal development, Rickale created Healing Through Art as a space where art becomes a tool for reflection, expression and connection.
Through her vibrant mixed media artwork, Rickale explores identity, healing, lived experiences and the emotions that shape us. Her work is rooted in the belief that you don’t have to consider yourself an artist to experience the benefits of creative expression.
Rickale has facilitated Healing Through Art workshops in partnership with organizations including the Harris County Department of Education, Association for the Advancement of Mexican Americans (AAMA) and Wounded Warrior Project.
In each workshop, participants are encouraged to slow down, explore their creativity and create without judgment or the pressure to be “good at art.” Whether you’re looking for a creative reset, a meaningful experience or simply a new way to express yourself, Healing Through Art invites you to use art as a pathway toward self-reflection and wellness.
