Art & Activism
I use my art not only as a way to express myself but to advocate for causes I believe in. I use my small business not only as a way to raise awareness about critical issues, but also as a way to connect with like-minded individuals.

"Shades of Us" Gallery Showcase
I submitted two pieces to be apart of this exhibit meant to showcase the work of LGBTQ+ students at IU Indianapolis in Feb. 2026. I submitted "Lavender Menace" an embroidery piece expressing what it feels like to be undeniably yourself in a world that isn't always accepting, and "City Kitties" which is another embroidery piece featuring two cats sitting ontop of a building looking at the moon together. We don't know their genders or the nature of their relationship, but we know they're happy as is, together. Unconditional love doesn't have to be romantic or strictly defined, it just has to be felt.

Custom Pet Ornaments
Our pets are more than just pets, but an extension of our family. I create custom pet ornaments as reminds of our furry friends present and past who have made our lives whole.

Mutual Aid Resource Project
A personal project from summer 2025, I worked on creating a digitially accessible spreadsheet of mutual aid organizations in and around Indianapolis, hoping at some point to expand to other areas of the state. Looking into it more, I realized how few organizations I knew of and what services they actually offered, and I found that it was hard to find an easily accessible directory that was up-to-date and comprehensive. This spreadsheet is something I have linked on my social media and share with local organizers in an effort to make this information more accessible.
