“Caring for the Caregivers”, a private color workshop to process the caregiving journey.

This progressive work follows a chapter of my grieving process from March 29 - April 11, 2021, as I mourned the loss of safety for our AAPI community amid the growing violence against us.

While there is a season for sitting still and grieving what has been broken, there is also a time to do something about it. This is that time. Mending is a work of great care and compassion...rebalancing the broken pieces, filling the gaps between, and inviting the scars into a place of honor in our story.

The collector’s deep gratitude inspired this work, which now provides a visual anchor and invitation to remember all that she is thankful for.

Some paintings have a longer story to tell. “After” is one of them.

When’s the last time you had a conversation that mattered? The commotion of life can keep us living on the surface in chit chat land. You don’t have to stay there.
