Launching December 11! Bay Windows / Ventanas en saliente / 窗花: Illuminating Immigrant Women’s Perspectives, a decentralized exhibition of 15 unique lanterns created in collaboration with 15 immigrant, working-class, Chinese and Latinx women.

I am a visual artist and social practitioner exploring belonging, resilience, and mental well being. I use community engagement and hyperlocal research to gather grassroots perspectives, which I interpret and amplify by making as hand-crafted objects, such as flags, banners, comics, zines, letterpress prints, graphite diagrams, portraits, and soft sculptures.

Current

I’m gobsmacked to receive a 2025 Creative Power Award from the Walter & Elise Haas Foundation, a significant unrestricted award to artists paired with a separate grant to non-profit organizations.

I’m very grateful that Bay Windows was selected for an Alternative Exposure Grant from Southern Exposure and an Artists & Creatives Grant from Community Engagement.

6/20–12/20: My set of 20 collaborative portraits from Recognitions / 认 • 知 is on view in Living Here @ Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, University of Nevada at Las Vegas, where I’ll speak as a Visiting Artist on 11/18.
