2020 was a heartbreaking year for many of us, filled with great loss. While the industry was shut down, I also lost my dearest and most beloved mom. I created and directed a funeral march- due to circumstance, in honor of all the lives tragically lost, and to help get out the vote. I was honored to have Street Art NYC come along and document the performance. Click on the photo to read the feature about the piece.

Streeter Seidell: "Here is the third installment of Amateur Hour, this one featuring the delightfully weird Maia Lorian.
