Memento Mori

MM.jpg

Pop Up! New month, who dis? I got booked to do a First Friday this week, and this time I’ll be showing my Death Series from a couple year ago, along with a some freshly finished pieces! The Death Series signified celebrating the transformations and cycles that we experience in life, and with a waxing crescent on the night of the 1st, it’s a wonderful time to reflect. We’ll have prints and drinks!

See y’all there!

Don't Let Them Cut Us Fundraiser

DLTCU Flyer.jpg

Good cause, good art! I’m teaming up with my friend Heather to put on a joint fundraiser and album listening party for Native Movement and the Bread Line! After the Dumbleavy Administration budget cuts, our community, our workers, and our families already started feeling the effects. We know that funds to grassroots and root cause orgs would be the first orgs to suffer. So Heather had the idea to gather spoken word poets, artists (me (>v<) ), leaders, and shakers and create an album to raise funds. And where’s there a fundraiser, there’s a flyer! I got to make this flyer above, the album covers, and even took a risk to record some of my words too. We’ll have a listening party at the fundraiser, tons of food, and tons of awesome communal vibes.
You can buy and listen to the entire album here, all proceeds go to Native Movement and the Bread Line. And you can check out the album art work prints here!

See y’all there!

Body Marks

BM Flyer.jpg

I’m doing something a little different with this art show. First off: this is my first art show. Not a First Friday or Gallery Viewing. But art show- And not just an art show, but an interactive art show.
This time, I’m going to be drawing temporary tattoos on attendees and spread some good ol’ body art around town! There will be a full bar and a food truck and a grandma couch to sit on. It’ll be sooooo fun!

See y’all there!

Lovely Ladies

I was invited to join this lovely collab show with some fantastic local lady artists. We’re showcasing the women who’ve inspired us and what womenhood means through our art. And it’s being sponsored by GOOD Cannabis, which is budding into the First Friday game. Exciting all around! I’ll be showing some of my elder pieces of some powerful women and their themes. Such a great opportunity to elevate our work with such an imperative and growing industry!

See y’all there!

Being a Community Organizer means a lot of electoral and partnership work most of the time. But sometimes it also means making art with your friends! I’m shipping off to Anchorage to showcase some awesome new original pieces for this show, all about uplifting local artists and our passions statewide. Being able to focus on the power and connections we have with nature is a nice break from the ‘impending environmental and legislative doom’ mindset with work. It’s soooo awesome being able to marry my art with my work, and I’ll be posting the originals after the show!

See y’all there!
