I am a queer, mixed-race artist and art teacher living in St. Louis, Missouri. I’ve made work around mixed-race identity that deals with the recovery of missing artifacts from mixed histories, especially within the context of family and ancestry, as well as with the emptiness left within the self as a result of cultural "erasure" and silence. I've also explored themes of translation and communication gaps in interracial relationships, and the concept of "belonging" to multiple worlds at once. After becoming pregnant, I began making work around motherhood. Most recently, I’ve begun to focus on growing as an illustrator.
I am currently an art educator in an after school program at Intersect Art Center in Dutchtown and a teacher at Perennial, a non-profit focusing on give old items new life.
