Belong at Donkey Mill Art Center
Aspen, one of my joomchi artworks, is part of Belong at Donkey Mill Art Center in Holualoa, HI and celebrates 30 years of creating community through art, education, and inclusive culture. If you’re on Hawai’i Island during the month of February, I hope you’ll have a chance to stop by the Mill’s signature fundraiser art auction. This is an opportunity to collect artwork by established and emerging artists from Hawai’i and beyond while supporting the important work of the center.

Kintsugi Stitches: Mending broken pieces to become a stronger whole
In response to the killing of George Floyd, I used African textiles to honor the thousands of African American quilters and their beautiful textile art. Inspired by kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing pottery with lacquer mixed with gold, I stitched “cracks” into the fabric remnants in recognition of both the brokenness and healing renewal which leads to a stronger and more beautiful vessel.
