I am a visual artist and social practitioner exploring belonging, resilience, and mental well being. I use community engagement to gather grassroots perspectives to conduct hyperlocal research. I interpret these contributions as hand-crafted objects, such as flags, banners, comics, zines, letterpress prints, graphite diagrams, portraits, and soft sculptures. My practice is guided by principles of accessibility, decentralization, optimism, and abundance.
