I am a fourth-year UC Davis student studying Design and Art Studio. I am interested in curating and designing exhibitions for museums and developing a sustainable artist practice.
In my art studio classes, I have developed technical proficiency in stone lithography, hand-weaving, ceramic sculpture, and other media. Through these classes, I have explored themes in my life that I can express through art. I confront questions regarding the erosion of memory, drawing parallels between cultural and individual memory and water's behavior.
Through design, I have had opportunities to design and curate exhibitions for the Manetti Shrem Museum at UC Davis. Along with a few classmates, I curated and designed the exhibition Light into Density: Abstract Encounters 1920s–1960s, which showcased the works collected by the museum's donor Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti-Shrem. This summer, I designed the layout for the upcoming exhibition Backstory: Digitizing the Museum Collection which is an open digitization of the museum's collection. I am hoping to use these experiences to launch a career in the museum field, which can strengthen my personal practice and enrich my art knowledge.
