What is your “community?”
activists, artists, crossword puzzle doers, spicy food eaters, travelers, whiskey and mezcal appreciators, avid readers, practicing writers, bad jokers, hip hoppers, night club dancers, karoke singers, coffee drinkers, meandering walkers, animal lovers, fast drivers, star gazers and all dorks.
What inspires you?
I get most of my ideas on long walks. I have no idea where they come from.
When did you know you were going to be an artist?
I think when my babysitter asked me at age two what I would be named if I could choose any name. I said plum. And later, yogurt.
If not yourself, who would you be?
A world famous chef first female NBA basketball playing professor of art and multiracial studies. I think it is self-explanatory: I would be awesome.
