About

Alice and Daisy’s Kin is an artist collective made of the descendants to Daisy and Alice Jacob. These sisters were born in South Carolina, but migrated to Philadelphia in the early parts of their lives. Both women were known for their creative abilities. Neither women are still living, yet their creativity has manifested itself in the lives of their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
​
As an artist collective, we work individually and collectively.
Some projects are solo endeavors and others are group ventures. We host art parties and in the future will be offering art classes. We also facilitate workshops where we explore the intersection of prayer and making art.

If you have any questions, would like to commission one or all of us, or want us to host an event, email us!

These are our cousins, Daisy's daughters. They inspired and shaped us to be the women and artists we are today.
