Garden: In Full Bloom opens August 26! 🌸

What an honor!

I’m excited to get to exhibit my work in Garden: In Full Bloom, an XR Women Museum exhibition bringing together 20 artists from around the world.

This exhibition isn't really about flowers. It is about a state of being—a moment of abundance, transformation, visibility, imagination, and the freedom to bloom fully and unapologetically.

What has helped me "bloom" the most? Words, books and stories. My submission reflects that inspiration.

I’m honored to be part of this immersive garden and to share my work alongside an incredible group of artists exploring what it means to be in full bloom.
