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.

Tomorrow! 🎈Color Factory opens in Chicago! 🤩Very happy an iteration of my installation with @leahmartharosenberg and @theindigobunting is being adapted for this new location! Check it out and send pics please. Wish I was there. ❤️
One year ago we launched my largest public art project to date. How I Keep Looking Up shared 11 senior New Yorkers’ sources of resilience via flag designs, custom flag poles, and signage in English, Spanish, Chinese and Braille (English). It was exhibited in Times Square for 8 weeks. Times Square as a neighborhood had about 3M (yes, million🤯) visitors during that period. It was free and open for anyone to see, 24/7. I hope for some seniors, stitchers, visitors from around the world, and everyday New Yorkers, this work was part of a nice memory that they’ll carry with them.
I was literally stopped 👀in my tracks the first time I encountered the “We Belong Here” artworks by Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya (@alonglastname). I feel an artistic sympatico 💞with her bc of her interest in belonging and APA healing in a time of APA hate. 💛💛💛
