As the days grow longer and the light shifts, so too does my work—stretching itself into new spaces, new conversations, and new communities. I’m thrilled to share a series of upcoming exhibitions and events where my artwork will be on view. From the streets of New York City to the hills of St. Croix, from intimate gallery walks to fiber-filled parades—there’s something powerful on the horizon.
