A group exhibit to open the new year at “2358 MRKT” gallery.

“TRANS AWARE” is an exhibit I curated along with KT Siebert showcasing twenty-four San Francisco Bay Area artists to celebrate Trans Awareness Week at the office of the Senator Scott Wiener in the State of California Building, San Francisco.

The artists come from diverse backgrounds and include trans, queer, non-binary, and cis-gender artists. Each work of art brings together trans awareness through historical, personal, representational, or abstract art.
