studio story

I've always been passionate about writing,

painting, and theatre.

 

But in college, I developed a deep curiosity about health and healing. That led to a decade-long sabbatical from art while I conducted ethnographic research in South Africa and then received my PhD in Medical Anthropology in 2014.

 

In 2017, I returned to my own creativity and founded Stone Cicada Studio to share some of the stories and insights that have simmered in my mind for years.
