Owning Your Own Voice at Talbert House, 2023

In partnership with Owning Your Own Voice, Talbert House, and Wave Pool Gallery, I served as a Resident Artist that created projects and lessons complimenting the Owning Your Own Voice curriculum.

Throughout the Residency, I worked with adult students experiencing homelessness and substance abuse recovery. We used studio-based learning to support self-expression and storytelling through art.

Projects like Dada poems, writing postcards to our pain, and making pocket-sized tokens of strength taught students new ways art could be part of a healing process.
