We start believing those voices.
We question ourselves.
We reshape our life, our art — even our identity — just to make other people comfortable.

That’s the moment we abandon ourselves.

And it’s never worth it.

Not for approval.
Not for acceptance.
Not for money.

watercolor illustration of a treefrog as the queen of cups from a tarot deck.

A long time ago (2014) I made a painting for someone as a birthday gift.

I've colored some flowers after not coloring for a while. I hope to recreate them much better one day though.

How a Texas Town Became an Art Project With fewer than 700 residents, Kingsbury has become a hub for cultural governance and sovereignty, largely thanks to advocacy led by arts organization Habitable Spaces.

What a beautiful thing! #Artislife

"To encounter a semblance of a body politic grounded in care for what is shared — land, air, water — outside of an Indigenous tradition was unexpected."

8 minutes to break up the chaos & turmoil #Gorillaz #artislife #musicislife

Golden hour? No. Golden me.
I don’t sit in the light — I compose it.
Sunbeams, shadow grids, curated objects… and then there’s me. The final brushstroke.

I am not in the room.
I am the exhibition. ✨
