Together with fifty amazing artists this year, I was named a 2024
@unitedstatesartists Fellow! I can’t begin to tell you how honored I am except to say THANK YOU to family, teachers, friends, and mentors who have walked with me through the years. An award like this doesn’t happen without a community of love and support.
From the press release:
USA Fellows are selected based on their groundbreaking artistic visions, unique
perspectives within their fields, and evident potential for the award to make a
significant impact in their practices and lives…This year's 50 awardees, a group of artists and collectives spanning 10 disciplines, are inspired by a wide variety of approaches and experiences, each engaging us in a collective responsibility to imagine and invest in our future.
My favorite line from the press release about the awardees:
“…honoring their rich contributions to the cultural fabric of the country.” I only wish my grandparents could have heard this. I'm so grateful my parents, aunts, and uncles will. This award is for you and the fabric you wove that I now get to weave into.
