ABOUT THE FOUNDERS:
Amina 'theEmpress' Boyd - Owner/Founder
As a multidimensional artist, educator, singer-songwriter, and maker, I draw inspiration from the rich cultural history and artistic expressions of the Buffalo community. With a passion for art, education, and community, I have dedicated myself to writing curriculum for maker-centered learning, focusing on art, steam and entrepreneurship. Through engaging and dynamic curriculum, I empower individuals to explore their creativity and reach their full potential.
Additionally, I am a passionate producer, singer, and songwriter, creating music that reflects my personal journey and experiences. With expertise in various artistic mediums, including digital fabrication, I continuously expand my creative repertoire. I am honored to serve on the board of the Galactic Tribe, advocating for educational opportunities and empowerment within the black community.
Arthaus Buffalo is a manifestation of my lifelong dedication to art, education, and community, aiming to elevate and inspire others to discover their passions and creative potential.
Latisha Laguerre - Co-Owner/Co-Founder
As a Buffalo native, my background as an artist, athlete, and educator has shaped my commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of others. With experience in teaching and coaching, I have witnessed the profound effect of art and creativity on young minds.
Beyond education, I have over 15 years of experience in arboriculture and landscaping, connecting deeply with nature and embracing the great outdoors. Music is another passion of mine, and I express my artistic side as a DJ, curating memorable experiences. With an eye for decor and interior design, I enjoy creating beautiful arrangements and assembling unique decor elements. Cooking and exploring diverse flavors bring me joy and culinary inspiration.
Through my multifaceted background, I strive to create a well-rounded environment for others to thrive. I am dedicated to creating inclusive spaces where individuals can explore, grow, and find inspiration, fostering the enrichment of our community.
