About

I am an artist-activist. As an activist, I fight for equity for people of color, queer and trans people, survivors of trauma, neurodivergent and disabled people, sex workers, and people from low-income backgrounds. As an artist, I endeavor to make art that not only amplifies these voices but also envisions a utopia for all these identities to co-exist in harmony.
