For the last two years I have been exploring performance and installation as the character Carina, a Star seed manifested on earth from the Carinae Nebula eight million light years away, as a harbinger of celestial curiosity. The birdhouse built will be answering the question, 'how would a birdhouse appear in this nebula?' The answer will undoubtedly be intergalactic.

Our hearts go out to the people and animals who have been affected by the tragic fires in California. These images are from folks expressing their love and doing what they can to support the victims. Art heals and makes a difference. 🧡

ON THE BLOG: Disrupt captured our state of mind and an important stage of the process of making. This year we shook it up with a different format and a different venue. That did not take away from the evenings message, or the work we have done to support arts education for under-served youth. Thank you to everyone who came out, and thank you to everyone who shared their story!
