I am an artist, writer and Ph.D. candidate at the University of California in San Diego where I am an affiliate of the Critical Gender Studies Program, a Katzin Fellow and a Black Studies Project Awardee. My monographic dissertation focuses on the art and life of stage and television actor Felicia Montealegre Bernstein (1922-1978). My artwork has been exhibited at Plug In Institute for Contemporary Art (Winnipeg), the National Gallery of Costa Rica (San José), the Contemporary Art Gallery (Vancouver), and at various artist run centres in Canada, including Artspeak, Access, Blinkers and 221A. My writing has appeared in Canadian Art, Public Parking, Charcuterie, c magazine, PubLab and The Capilano Review. My play, The Mexican Husband was published by Blank Cheque Press (2019) and has been staged as a reading-event at the 3rd Kamias Triannial (2020), at Deslave in Tijuana (2018) and, more recently at Vinegar Contemporary in Birmingham, Alabama (2022).
