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.

Despite everything, the good in people can be seen when we show up for our communities. ✊🏾I’ve been honored to have a productive place to put some of my energies and express APA solidarity through this group of folks. I was able to contribute artwork from my comic book, “Alive and Present: Cultural Belonging in S.F. Chinatown and Manilatown.” The ladies are Chinese fan dancers who practice in Portsmouth Square, San Francisco. The organizers in Flushing are in solidarity with SF, Oakland, Atlanta and beyond. No matter what, I’ll forever be on the side of people who work towards a future where we can all take up space, be who we are, in public, unapologetic and unafraid. ❤️
Ten years ago, I made this kinetic sculpture, from a series exploring perception and phenomenology. It’s pretty different from my current work—it's minimal and conceptual. But I think it’s related to my interests in psychology and viewers.
Weird times to be an APA artist. Non-APA institutions are finally paying attention to anti-Asian hate (good) and would like art to show their stance against anti-Asian hate (good, but weird to be an artist gaining visibility out of tragedy and oppression).
