Tin House Workshop Summer 2025

Wish I got more photos with everyone but the days went by so fast. Here is my Queer Tatreez artwork scrapbook page:


Wow! What an amazing experience. So honored to be chosen to learn from such talented creators. I had a formative, transformational, and productive time in Portland, Oregon. I had so many breakthroughs as an author and an hybrid artist. Everything is shifting and my path is increasingly unfolding. 

Loved my cohort of creators, too! 


Thank you Lena
for being the best workshop leader ever!

Treacherous Times

In these treacherous times, with waves of censorship rolling over Queer and Trans Palestinians, we look toward our artists, authors, and creators to guide us into the future. Its time to double-down on our creative processes and the submission of our work for publication/performance. We, as creators, must take action so we can lead our communities forward with equality and towards justice. 

With so much violence, it may not be the optimal time to create a Tatreez flower but is there ever a right time for art?
