Alexander Tamahn has been honing his wide range of skills and leveraging his invaluable partnerships to elevate his community and art simultaneously. His multifaceted artwork covers building facades, galleries, and private collections throughout the US. His engaging and spirited work is highly sought after and flows from the intersections of his passions for creative expression and positive social impact.

Representation is an essential factor in the projected outcomes of BIPOC youth and young adults. Much of Alexander’s practice enhances those outcomes by sharing his work and experiences and providing art-making opportunities and professional development.

Tamahn’s art has become more prominent in public spaces. He believes public art is essential because no one needs permission to access and engage with it. His work is featured on HGTV and DIY networks and in several significant publications. He’s worked with Whirlpool, Kitchen Aid, The State of Oklahoma, Wilsons Sporting Goods, T-Mobile, The National Historic Landmarks Program, and The Oklahoma City Thunder. He continues to make increasingly more prolific contributions to the creative canon as a Black queer artist.

Do you have a positive or negative reaction when you think about your emotions? How safe is it for you to express your feelings in your community?

It is essential to cultivate language to express the full spectrum of emotions in order for us to grow.

Today’s conversation with educator and creator of Feellinks, Marcelle Waldman explores the importance of developing emotional intelligence within yourself, your family, and your community.

Marcelle lives in Issaquah, Washington, with her husband and two children in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Her concern over the staggering rates of anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, troubles in school, and relationship difficulties affecting our children drive Marcelle's passion for social-emotional learning.

FeelLinks is a hands-on resource for children that includes a set of plush emotion dolls and a feelings journal to promote growth in lifelong skills in emotional intelligence, self-awareness, self-management, and relationship skills. FeelLinks' mission is to strengthen children’s social-emotional connections and confidence.
