About

I'm a visual artist obsessed with optimism. Originally from California, now living in New York. This is a space where I think through and share notes on art, art worlds, transparency, positive psychology, and my process.

🔔 Zine giveaway to libraries 📚for Pride month! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ One year ago, I led an inclusive paper doll workshop at @NYPL’s Anti-Prom, a free, safer space for LGBTQIA+ teens in NYC. I felt optimistic to see so many BIPOC NYC teens just 🙌🏾 GET IT—bringing the queer, gender nonbinary future a little closer to our everyday reality. We adults have to 👏🏽catch up 👏🏽and end these culture wars harming trans youth, drag artists, and the queer community.

I’m 🥹 LIVING for the 😀 joy & 🥰 pride of the designers—working class, immigrant, BIPOC women who created banners to represent their resilience and marched them in the Chinese New Year Parade.

Today & tomorrow only: Use the 🐣 EARLYBIRD discount code for THIRD PRINTING 🤯☺️ pre-orders of my book on belonging, one of the seeds 🌱 that many current projects 🌳 on belonging draw from. Save $5 to get the pre-“all-this” <waves hands around>👋🏾 price.
