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

Through August 9: My zine on artists’ interdependence is included in Lucy R. Lippard’s: Notes from the Radical Whirlwind, on view at the New Mexico Museum of Art.

I’m currently one of three finalist for a public artwork at the Chinatown Chinatown Him Mark Lai Branch Library Public Art Project via the SF Arts Commission. View a JPG or PDF of my proposal.
