2025 KRESGE ARTIST FELLOW /
I am beyond excited to announce that I am a recipient of the 2025 Kresge Artist Fellowship!
I have dreamt of winning this award since it was first offered in 2008. I applied every cycle, believing that one day my artistic practice would get the recognition it deserves. I look forward to sharing updates throughout the next year!
