I am a visual artist and social practitioner exploring belonging, resilience, and mental well being. I use community engagement and hyperlocal research to gather grassroots perspectives, which I interpret and amplify by making as hand-crafted objects, such as flags, banners, comics, zines, letterpress prints, graphite diagrams, portraits, and soft sculptures.
