I’ve failed to create a mini series for February, but I have been busy making art and teaching and building my business!

What I've been up to: 

  • I started teaching an online art program at KAPPA international school for the Center for Urban Pedagogy

  • I took photos with me, my art, and a sofa for a collaboration with the Brooklyn Space. Photograph above is by Sean Patrick Watters.

  • I finished a garment via the Garment Weaving class I took at the Textile Art Center taught by Isa Rodrigues.

  • I finished some new work (below) and am working on my first official textile art commission.

  • I got rejected for a lot of things (including the MFA program at Hunter), but also accepted for an upcoming art book by Jen Tough Gallery and the Fantastic Fibers art show at Yeiser Art Center in Kentucky!

  • I released a few new episodes of my podcast/video series First Coat.

  • I started a new semester of NYC Crit Club and a drawing class.

  • I've been helping to organize the new DSA Latinos Socialistas

  • I've been running my business Distill Creative and helping my clients bring more art to their spaces
