Artist Resumé

*This resume was last updated in 2018. Since then, my creative energy has been largely devoted to supporting others in my community through meaningful projects, publications, and lectures, while also stepping into the most important work of all: becoming a mother to two beautiful babes.

I’ll refresh this soon, but for now I’m enjoying the wild, wonderful ride. ❤︎
