I make art—mainly pottery—combining wildlife & folklore;
I can also be found wishing on shooting stars and dancing with my dog.

I'm Shirley, a Black/Korean woman who makes really cool art.

It's Juneteenth, and Black people still have yet to receive reparations. But here are some of the ways you can financially support me today! ✨💖

If you were like 50+ million light years away & observed the Earth you would see the dinosaurs. So technically, they are still alive in this very moment.
Is the past even real? Is there a future point in space that has already observed us—in our current time—in this very moment?
What is the present?

My comic ‘EVERYWHERE’ is about a girl who meets a boy in a tulip field 🌷

After losing one of my best friends to s*icide, it was a way of tackling that grief the best way I knew how & how I ultimately approach those who come and go in our lives.

Me whenever the football players start fighting with each other

If I were a running back and handed the ball, I would simply not run directly into the big pack of opposing football players

The vibes of this latest season of US Traitors are OFFFF.
I've watched so many seasons of this show and this season has been by far my least favourite.
I typically enjoy the all-celebrity seasons, but this one is just not...it. LOL

Thinking tonight about how my people read the night sky for their very survival and freedom. The stars helped guide us to safety. And we used our relationship with nature to get to freedom. Nature helped free us.
I love being Black. ✨💖

I wonder what constellation our sun is a part of in another civilisation's cosmic story they tell of their night sky.

I started putting peanuts out in the backyard a few years ago to try and befriend the local crow community.
It instead attracted the local Scrub Jay and squirrel community and that's cool. But I still hope that one of these days the crows will catch on.
