So excited to see my art and personal journey in bookstores across Canada!

Over the years as I moved cities and then countries, somewhere I started hiding myself. With this came another side effect of thinking my story/ my journey is not important enough to reflect/ share on.This published project helped me acknowledge my journey a different light.

‘Unframed: Canadian Immigrant Artists Anthology ‘ is the first volume of a publishing imitative by @rootsandbridge to document stories of migrant artists- grateful to have this platform and to share it with other 3 amazing artists Kris, @artbykeetu @melmelboodo0

Thank you Keetu for introducing me to this project and also for this video.
Special thanks to model @edgooooo for helping with this.

It was the closing eve of the iconic Squirrleys when @srhclyton asked me to be co-conspirator to her latest scheme: a pop-up art show. Hustling, we planned, promoted and partnered to bring the one-night gallery show “Momentum”. The results: a vibrant evening of supporting creativity and fostering connections in this city. It couldn’t be *more* Toronto and I’m honoured to have done it with the coolest gal in town leading the charge!⚡️

🚴Thank you to the rad gang at @blacksmithcycle who graciously hosted and helped out!

🎨Thank you to all the artists who submitted and participated in the show: we love you!

✨Thank you to the curious crowd who braved the weather and brought the good vibes!
