A Lunar New Year *Year of the Ox* Fundraiser

I’m proud to share these Lunar New Year still lifes made in collaboration with Abacus Row to ring in the Year of the Ox. We incorporated auspicious flora and foods like peonies, chrysanthemums, pomelo, citrus, and lychee. And can’t forget that little quail egg! We’ll be offering both a LNY calendar and art prints with 100% of proceeds benefitting Good Good Eatz, a local nonprofit formed during the pandemic, that offers aid and business development for Oakland Chinatown and other POC and immigrant-owned small business throughout Oakland. Check instagram in the coming week for more details on how to purchase a calendar or print!

A mix of lifestyle and product photos for Oakland-based spice company, Diaspora Co, with prop styling by Jillian Knox. The whole Diaspora Co. team (pictured below) brought the good energy and helped create a festive Diwali spread. I love seeing the journey of this small business —they’ve grown from carrying their hero spice, turmeric, to carrying an ever-expanding collection of spices, collaborations, and masala dabbas!

Diaspora Co sells the best turmeric and the heritage spices organically farmed and directly sourced from their farmers in India. Founder Sana Javeri Kadri is building a more sustainable equity-focused spice trade, and admirably everything about Diaspora Co from their ethos to their product is bold and beautiful!
