Hi there, I’m dee :).

I am an artist that was born and raised in Northern California (Bay Area + Sacramento) and currently reside on the original lands of the Clackamas people in Portland, OR.  

My artwork emerges from a place of necessity within me. I have learned that I cannot be the artist and human being that I am without learning how to love the parts of myself I sometimes consider  “unlovable”. 

The act of creation helps me contact this place of tenderness deeply. Sometimes I do this publicly, other times this is done privately for my own self-preservation. 

I actively choose not to limit myself and create through many mediums as a means to slowly become more aware and comfortable with who I am. 

As a queer and non-binary person (they/them pronouns), I believe in celebrating the multitudes within and around us— and to question that which we’ve known before. 

The acceptance and integration of all of my life’s experiences, however painful and joyful they may be, is what calls me deeper into my practice today. 

With great care,

dee
