About
I’m a Bay Area interdisciplinary artist with a focus on research based installations. I incorporate historical research, family history, and passed down craft techniques to make sculptures that center the lived experiences of trans/gender variant, queer, mad and neurodiverse people. I intercede private and public spaces through the creation of “speculative furniture,” ceramic and upholstery sculptures that suggest non-normative ways of being a body and experiencing support. I quilt, embroider, and screen print fabrics that are based on my research and depict fruits and flowers that were classified as “unfit” by Bay Area horticulturalist, Luther Burbank during the height of eugenics. I upholster these fabrics onto furniture-like objects created from wood and metal that imply embodied use, while their function remains subjectively imagined by the viewer.
I am a 2026 Artist in Residence at Recology, was a 2025 Fellow at Kala Art Institute and 2023 Graduate Fellow at Headlands Center for the Arts. My work was exhibited in Bay Area Now 9 at YBCA and Bay Area artist centered orgs such as Southern Exposure, The Lab, SOMArts, 500 Capp Street, Kala Art Gallery, and Root Division. I was a 2025 resident artist at RTS Studios and 2026 resident at Lucky Break Studios in Oakland. I received my MFA in 2022 from San Francisco State University, graduated with distinction, and was a recipient of the Cadogan award.
