I’m officially deleting this app from my phone. Still keeping profile up (for SEO reasons I guess), but I’ll be on Insta/🧵at the same handle if you wanna stay in touch.

where on my CV does this go?

I’ve always loved trees, even as a kid! This is a historic cabin at Swatara State Park. I was a youth leader once, and I led some kids on a hike that ended at the top of this waterfall, overlooking Bordner’s Cabin. The moment was worth painting 😊

My pregnant sister: In the ultrasound pictures, the baby always makes duck lips. My Filipino mom: She’s pointing at you 😆

I’m never sure how to take it when Gen Z kids tell me, “I always forget that you’re older than me.” Like, thanks, but also… maybe I should get my life together 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

So thankful for the friends who showed up to the Lancaster AAPI visual & performing arts show today! I got to exchange stories with people because of my art, which helps form deeper connections.

I feel like I get more and more introverted with age. In my 20s, I used be all, “Let’s invite all the friends to the group hangout thing!” Now: Can we keep this social thing to no more than 2 other people? And end by 9pm?

Work looks like this sometimes 😍

Just my childhood home again as the subject of a new piece! If you’re local to south central PA, I have a few new pieces in a group show at the Ware Center in Lancaster this Friday!

I saw a friend today who very recently went through a tragic loss and has a lot to process. She asked me, “Can I have a paint night with you?” Creating art can help us heal. If I can help someone by providing space for that healing, the answer is always YES.

@earlybgoode When I got home last year, I could’ve slept for 2 months straight 😆

I always forget how that first post-con sleep lasts like 10-12 hours #SDCC

Just me and my bestie discussing important things.

@KirkMcCall68 Gen X? 🤷🏻‍♀️

At this point, I’m just on this app because I can’t look away from the trainwreck it is. Find me on 🧵 at the same handle.
