Since 2024, I have been a writing and public programs collaborator with pt.2 Gallery in Oakland, contributing exhibition texts, catalog essays, and moderated conversations that deepen audience connection to contemporary art. Working closely with artists throughout their exhibition process, I craft language that supports their vision, illuminates context, and invites viewers into the emotional and conceptual layers of the work.

My writing spans formal catalog essays, wall labels, online texts, and public talks, and is grounded in partnership — ensuring the artist’s voice remains centered while offering audiences new clarity and access points.
