She was the 2019-2020 Storefront Artist in Residence at The W.O.W.

Through her community-centered residencies and public art projects, her process has expanded beyond the studio, from leading interviews, conducting research and collecting oral histories, to hiking up mountains and teaching intergenerational workshops, all these experiences inform what goes into her artwork: a rich collection of memories, dreams, and hope.
