What an honour to be a part of Roots & Bridge Publishing first edition of Unframed: Canadian Immigrant Artist Anthology. Alongside four other artists such as Keerthana Jhutty and Arora Bori Studio , we reflect on how Canada has shaped and influenced our bodies of work.

In my chapter, I share a more intimate side of myself, diving into my childhood, what it was like growing up biracial, the stories that inspired certain paintings, and, more importantly, what has shaped me into the artist I am today. This is also the first time I’ve ever written in this way before, which feels both vulnerable and incredibly meaningful.

To now be able to call myself a published author feels surreal. While I’m naturally a little nervous to share these parts of myself publicly, I’m also deeply excited. Writing this chapter opened something in me creatively, and I truly hope to continue writing more in the future.

You can find the book at Indigo or you can pre-order directly through me. Please send me a DM if you’re interested in a copy, I’m happy to coordinate both pick-ups and shipping.

Who knew reading my new book could be so 🥵

I can’t think of a better way to spend a sunny blue-sky day: lounging by the lake, book in hand, while baby eagles flying above you. And somehow, my sweet angel managed to make reading look especially good🤭❤️‍🔥

Seeing 'Unframed: Canadian Immigrant Artist Anthology' out in the world and in the hands of friends has been such a surreal and heartwarming experience.

If you’d like a copy of the book, please send me a DM. I’m happy to coordinate shipping or pickup in Toronto.

I’ve got a small stock of my book, Unframed: Canadian Immigrant Artist Anthology.

Please send me a DM if you’d like a copy. I’m happy to coordinate shipping or pickup in Toronto.

This book features four other artists, and together we reflect on how Canada has shaped and influenced our artistic practices and the stories behind our work.

In my chapter, I share a more intimate side of myself, diving into my childhood, what it was like growing up biracial, the stories that inspired certain paintings, and, more importantly, the experiences that shaped me into the artist I am today. This is also the first time I’ve ever written in this way, which feels both vulnerable and incredibly meaningful.

While writing, I found myself revisiting moments of self-doubt, adversity, and the microaggressions that quietly shape how we move through the world. My hope is that, in sharing these experiences, others who have felt unseen, misunderstood, or caught between identities might find a piece of themselves in these pages. If my story resonates with even one person and reminds them that they are not alone in their journey, then sharing it will have been worth it.
