social practice

It is an amazing idea that contemporary artists can be philanthropists, entrepreneurs, and parents. For a traditionally male-dominated industry voted “most likely to starve or go insane,” turning those ideas on their heads fascinates me and I’m here for it. And wouldn’t it be even more increadible to accomplish all that while I’m raising my three kids?!

And while I’m at the beginning of my own road, I do want to share some of the places I support regularly so you can see where some of your art purchasing power goes. It is important to me to support organizations and causes that uplift my local community, open doors and work towards giving everyone a voice in this world.

One local organization doing amazing work that I 100% believe in and support is Choose I80. Choose 180 transforms systems of injustice and supports the young people who are too often impacted by these systems. You can be sure that no matter what I’m doing a percentage of every dollar in my pocket in goes toward the work they do. Also, check my Instagram or my NOTES section here on my website for an idea of what I’m doing on a daily basis (for sure supporting my children as they grow, ahem, plus a lot more).

Thank you for supporting my work.
