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.

Fist bump 🤜🏽💥🤛🏾 solidarity bandanas just added to my online shop. I hand-carved the basket-weave pattern from a linoleum block. Then I printed that one block #️⃣#️⃣#️⃣#️⃣#️⃣#️⃣#️⃣#️⃣#️⃣ 9 times 🤪 on each bandana on a letterpress. Brown ink on white 100% cotton. Printed at the Center for Book Arts in NoMad (or what I like to call "Little L.A." 🌴for the mashup of immigrant wholesalers next to West Coast vibe-y health food spots next to cool random mom-and-pop shops). Made in ❤️ NYC.

Happy Lunar New Year! 🐂🐲🐉🧧🧨In the spirit of #ASIANJOY, ❤️😍❤️here are some sights, aromas, tastes, and sounds, some 👵🏼nai nai’s, 👴🏼gung gung’s, that I think of when I think of this wonderful season of celebration, family, and festivities. Can you hear the firecrackers and heart-thumping drums of the lion dancing? Can you hear the good wishes:“gung hay fat choy” “sun neen fai lok” “sun tai geen hong”? This year I am transporting myself to years past and years ahead when we will celebrate in person.
