  • poster art // “Gossip” exhibition at Tacoma Art Museum

    Tacoma Art Museum’s newest long term exhibition Gossip: Between Us draws from the museum’s permanent collection to spotlight women and queer artists—particularly those whose work embodies the tradition of “gossip.” Featuring works by Barbara Kruger, Joyce J. Scott, Carrie Mae Weems, and more, these artists engage in gossip not only as subject matter but as methodology, embedding within their work the textures of lived experience, cultural memory, and communal care. I worked with the exhibition curator Victoria Miles whose vision for the exhibition and poster design was influenced by zine aesthetic and the imagery of women joyously communicating.

  • poster design // “tomakesenseofitall” exhibition at TAM

    In this third iteration of The Current, An Artist Award exhibition, tomakesenseofitall features work from the 2024-25 The Current, An Artist Award Program artists. tomakesenseofitall delves into the artists’ relationships between their environments, surroundings, and those around them, offering evocations of memory through their recollections and imaginings. The exhibition’s poetic and exploratory nature articulates an attentiveness to the artists’ interpretations of these retellings, as they employ their imaginations, through various mediums, to make sense of it all. This poster was designed with input from the exhibition curator Victoria Miles who wanted imagery of sea and sky and reflection, and the use of blue and pink. I used an image of clouds I had taken and manipulated it for the poster art.

  • Exhibition Trailer // “Echoes of the Floating World” at Tacoma Art Museum

    Here’s an exhibition trailer I created for Tacoma Art Museum’s Echoes of the Floating World guest curated by artist Kenji Stoll. Kenji talks about the connections between the Edo era artists of Japan and contemporary artists from Tacoma featured in the upcoming exhibition. I paired a motion version of the poster design I created for graphic elements and added original background music I created.

    Echoes of the Floating World highlights the continuing influence of Japan’s ukiyo-e woodblock prints on contemporary art in the Pacific Northwest. The exhibition features a striking collection of 18th-, 19th- and early 20th-century Japanese woodblock prints from the Tacoma Art Museum and others, displayed alongside works by contemporary Northwest artists. This exhibition honors the rich legacy of ukiyo-e while exploring its cultural impact on today’s artistic expressions. “What’s really cool about this show is that you’ll see these [woodblock prints] in person, and you’ll also see the ways in which they influence artists who live and work right in our community…It’s a full circle moment.” –Kenji Stoll. The exhibition will also showcase the works of several regional contemporary artists, including a mural by Stoll.
