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.

Current

8/13/2026–1/10/2027: A lantern and papercut from Bay Windows will be on view in Help Wanted / Leave Now: “Operation Wetback” & The Revolving Door of Mass Deportation at the California Museum, Sacramento.

Out now: I contributed an essay to It Will Be More Beautiful Than You Could Ever Imagine: The Art of Susan O’Malley published by Chronicle Books and launching at the SF Art Book Fair.

I’m currently one of three finalist for a public artwork at the Chinatown Chinatown Him Mark Lai Branch Library Public Art Project via the SF Arts Commission. View a JPG or PDF of my proposal.

I’m proud to continue supporting emerging refugee, immigrant, diasporic, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ artists as a mentor with ARTogether’s Mentorship Hub.

Upcoming
