Art

I am a freelance artist/illustrator who works primarily in traditional media (watercolor, gouache, colored pencil, and pen and ink) and by commission.  I am also an active urban/travel sketcher and a volunteer administrator for the DC chapter of Urban Sketchers (2024-current).

Broadly in my art, I explore themes of place, nostalgia, and memory. I love to visually interpret academic research and I also run a small business in stationary. 

My foray into the art world began with an early exhibition in San Francisco and later (in a very different style) at Gristle Tattoo in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. More recently, my work has been featured by my alma mater, Smith College, and published in the Smith Alumnae Quarterly. 

My artistic side recently merged with my academic one -- my work appears on the cover of Tanika Raychaudhuri's book The Social Roots of Asian American Partisanship (Fall 2025) for Oxford University Press.

I am available for original commissions and my artwork has been recognized here and can be purchased here.
