ARTIST + ART DIRECTOR + PHOTOGRAPHER

I painted these tees for auction via Artists Take Action to raise money for organizations (update: the medium tee has raised, through donation, $70 for Black Lives Matter) working to dismantle systemic racism.

The artwork is a continuation of a series of work called Separate Connection that is inspired by the relationships we have with objects, ourselves, and others as experienced during the 2020 period of social distancing, isolation, and self-quarantine.
