I’m a collage artist, muralist, and teaching artist. I’m currently working on a multi-year project called Q’llage, in which I explore how the strategies that support me and my queer community to stay true to ourselves are mirrored in the resilience of plants and other natural elements. To inform the work, I’ve been conducting interviews and holding outdoor movement workshops with local LGBTQ2IA+ folks. I share a studio with my two collectives, Studio Thalo and Creatives After Curfew, and teach community collage courses in the space.
