Why I Show Up
My work is rooted in the belief that creative practice thrives through reciprocity, access, and shared growth. I design environments that support artistic experimentation, collective learning, and sustainable collaboration. Whether facilitating public programs, supporting artists-in-residence, or mentoring emerging creators, I see community-building as both method and outcome—a central part of my practice.
