2025: Artist News: Colorado Mural Projects
I'm excited to announce that my fall schedule is dedicated to two significant mural projects in Colorado: the KissFist Mural Festival and a new commission for the Anythink Library system.
The KissFist Mural Festival
I am honored to be one of the ten selected muralists participating in the inaugural KissFist Mural Festival in Denver, Colorado, from October 17th - 19th. This groundbreaking event is the region's first dedicated Deaf cultural art festival, celebrating the visual arts within the Deaf community.
Anythink Library Mural: "Canopy of Connections"
Following the festival, I will immediately begin work on a children's mural at the Anythink Library in Brighton, Colorado. The project is titled "Canopy of Connections."
Studio & Shop Schedule
Due to the time commitment required for both projects, my shop will be closed until mid-November.

Nov.2019 :SUPER excited! One of my artworks at the ADEC booth is acquisition by RIT Libraries. "ASL HUNGRY" painting is precious to me. The Deaf man in this painting is not have Deaf space/home. Lack of ASL accessible and ASL deprivation surrounding. Now, this painting goes home to RIT library that it is so special to me because my mom was a librarian for public school near by Columbia University in NYC. In November 1989, She departed from earth in 30th anniversary. It is bittersweet. Miss you and love you, mom!
​
Thank you, customers who supported and bought artworks! It makes me keep going to be creative. It is so helpful when my works are going to new homes. Wish you all good holidays!
