Hello, Madison
In 2020, at the start of the pandemic, I started the Hello Madison project on Instagram to bring a little joy to my community. The illustrations celebrate Madison’s people, places, and local businesses.
Since then the project has grown into public art, community collaborations, and exhibitions in Madison and Seoul.
