There is something special about creating queer art with a group of 20+ complete strangers. By the end, we were laughing, creating wonders, and holding onto community a little tighter.

Thank you all for the most special weekend 🌟

“…and then their colors came out.”

A four part series exploring the various identities we hold. Despite violence against trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming individuals, this series acknowledges these realities while uplifting queer voices. Areas may show erasure or bleeding, yet, they are mended together to create a bigger part of a more beautiful whole.

2023, mixed-media, reactive dye on raw silk, embroidery, quilting, patchwork

“A Picnic In The Park Quilt” translates all of my daily practice paintings into a reversible quilt. This work tells the story of bleeding fruit in the summertime, dancing under the moonlight at midnight, and growing up queer in a community that lacked representation. Similar to watercolor surfaces, we all hold imperfect bruises that remain as a reminder of our beautiful stories.
