Back in February I led a Lunar New Year 🧧 collaging workshop @jseicommunity It was lovely to share, reflect, and create our aspirations for the Year of the Fire Horse 🎠🔥 Thank you to the J-Sei staff for hosting (and attending) the workshop. It was special to share my collaging practice at a place where I also played taiko. I look forward to creating more art with you again 💜 #collage #asianamericanartist #yearofthefirehorse #intergenerational #community

Join @_creativemah_ next Saturday at 2727 California St, Berkeley, Ca for ‘Pieces of Self: Collage Workshop.’ In this workshop, we’ll explore identity, connection, and sharing who you are. We’ll make collages that hold the parts of yourself you want to share with others—maybe a memory that matters to you, something you’re proud of, a blessing you want to give, or just a quiet truth that feels important. We’ll work with collage—choosing pieces of paper, images, and colors, to make something whole— like how we’re all made up of different parts, and we get to choose what we share when we connect with the people we care about. All materials will be provided: papers, images, supplies, and some gentle prompts to help you think about what you want to create and share. We’ll explore: - What feels meaningful to you right now? - Who you want to connect with and why? - How to let your collage tell your story? Make a collage to add to the Street Encounters live art wall or make something to take home. Come as you are. Leave with something to share. $25 Suggested Donation

Come through @2727californiastreet to reflect and celebrate how we shape and our shaped by our city environments in our May exhibition, “Street Encounters.” I’m very excited to also be taking the lead to set up a live art wall—for folks like you to interact with!

Realized that the video in my last post was cut off! Check out the entire video that includes some of the process of creating “Living a Vision: Adventure Arrives.” The entire piece from sketch to sealing took about a month with times of pause, reflection, and revisiting. Enjoy 🩵 #collage #collaging #theprocess #bayareaartist #tarot

“Living a Vision: Adventure Arrives” This was the first time I made a mini collage to sketch out my vision. It was quite fun! Inspired by the Three of Wands, the card that was placed in my future during a reading back in October. Much like the merchant watching their ships return full of promising goods, my future was looking bright. Reaping the benefits of all my efforts these last several months in the new year was on the horizon. I’ll share more in future posts 😁 It was exciting to debut this piece at the @2727californiastreet New Members Show back in February. Thank you to everyone who visited. Look out for details of our May show soon. #collage #berkeley #emergingartist #tarot #bipocartist
