catchers as a way of celebrating health and beauty. I carefully source materials from artisans
around the world, including a women’s cooperative in Guatemala I began working with in 2021.

around the world through my nonprofit, Hula Nation. My artwork is designed to move too,
adjusting to all bodies to foster self confidence and prove that we are all works of art.
