ACTIVISM & Artistic integrity.
“I hope that my painting has the impact of giving someone, as it did me, the feeling of his own totality, of his own separateness, of his own individuality.”
-Barnett Newman
Rooted in my identity as a queer, nonbinary artist and Jewish activist, I stay dedicated to creating at the intersection of public representation, resistance, & autonomy. From the gallery to the streets, my work spans memorials for queer and trans lives, allyship with the BIPOC liberation movement, & solidarity with the people of Palestine and the Global South. I maintain the unwavering conviction that art is a powerful force that must be utilized to demand systemic reform and achieve both individual & collective freedom.
POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
