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.

It's been a minute since I shared thoughts on happiness, and I got to talk about what makes me feel ALIVE, where I get a sense of flow, how I maintain wellbeing with @shoutoutlaofficial. 🙏🏽Link in bio and today's Stories.
☀️IT’S LEO SEASON! 🦁🔥 It’s been SUCH a gift 🎁 to be a full-time* artist, 15 months and counting now. It had always been a dream of mine, and I try to remember everyday that I’m living that ✨ dream 🙏🏽 (with a beautiful studio and nice studio mates too).
The #BerlinBiennial was great paired with @documentafifteen, sharing a concern with the Global South and social justice, esp refugee and migrant experiences and specifically non-Western feminisms. Great curation by Kader Attia, well-paced exhibition at @akademiederkuenste and @kwinstitutefcontemporaryart esp. Congrats @tammowhammo the series of paintings are amazing! 👏🏽 It’s cool to see fellow cohort members from the @aimbxma doing the damn thing!

money problems are the best problems to have, because when you get some money it goes away. It would be worse if I felt that the work we’re doing was irrelevant.
