A SOCIAL ARTIST

I'm interested in people. I explore that through art.

I am a social artist, community organizer, and nonprofit consultant based in the American West. My creative work explores themes of social and cultural belonging, incorporating writing, performance, installation art, and traditional crafts. I am also the co-founder and former executive director of The Wayfaring Band, a Denver-based nonprofit that creates adventure travel and immersive learning opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

As a working artist, I write and perform original stories that reflect my personal experiences and travels. I speak and teach on the topics of creative activism, community building, inclusion/accessibility, and global citizenry. In my former capacity at The Wayfaring Band, I oversaw the development of an anti-ableism curriculum and helped facilitate opportunities for independence, socialization, and adventure as part of a neurodiverse community.

Now, in addition to broadening my creative practice, I offer consulting services in the areas of  inclusion/accessibility, nonprofit development and management, strategic planning, creative direction, and community building. I am a seasoned facilitator and trusted community leader who celebrates differences and practices mutual aid. I try to live according to an anti-oppression ethic; in particular, I commit to being a lifelong learner and action-taker in the area of anti-racism.

I honor and acknowledge that I live and work primarily on the traditional territories and ancestral homelands of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Nations. I also travel frequently across an area that was the site of trade, hunting, gathering, and healing for many other Native Nations, including the Lakota, Ute, Kiowa, Tongva, Chumash, Comanche, Apache, Shoshone, Diné, and various Pueblo communities, among others. I recognize Indigenous peoples as the earliest relatives of the land and water, as well as plants and animals. I pay my respects to the vibrant, evolving Indigenous cultures and communities that continue to persist and thrive across Turtle Island, and I give thanks to the many Native friends, community members, elders, and ancestors for their invaluable contributions to our collective well-being.
