In the DMV and beyond
Community
Workshops, collaborations, live painting, and collective shows. This is where the work leaves the studio.
Ways the work shows up
-
Workshops
Hands-on sessions in ink, marker, and watercolor — for beginners and working artists alike.
-
Live painting
On-site work at shows, launches, and events — the studio process out in the open.
-
Collaborations
Joint pieces and cross-disciplinary projects with other artists, musicians, and makers.
-
Collective shows
Group exhibitions and pop-ups around the DMV that put local work in the room together.
Selected community work
Workshops, live sessions, and collaborative pieces from around the DMV.
- Tag Workshop 2024
Led a hands-on tag illustration workshop for high schoolers at Transform DC Community Day, National Building Museum (May 2024). I taught students how to work with ink and alcohol-based markers to design their own tags on USPS Priority Mail labels — a nod to sticker and street-art culture — coaching them through linework, color, and layering. Around 25 students came through in rotation, each leaving with a finished piece of their own.
- Painting With Ink Workshop 2025
Taught students how to paint pictures using different kinds of fountain pen ink. Also showed students how to use a waterbrush pen and blend inks together, and covered basic drawing principles too.
- Somewhere Someday Community Mural 2025
Helped throw an event at Emissary Coffee in Washington DC. Performers from both DC and New York performed while we also ran different art stations. My community mural was the centerpiece — I did small live drawings while other people added their own work as well.
- Tag Workshop 2 2024
Led another tag workshop at a market/fundraiser event in Washington DC.
- Visionaries Event 2025 2025
Painted another community mural at the Visionaries art event in Virginia.
