Mugga Rose: Artist in Residence

Cheyanne Disé, also known as Mugga Rose, is an artist, author, teacher, and intuitive whose work spans sculpture, painting, film, and performance. Her creative path began in the queer core underground of early 1990s San Francisco, where she documented and participated in a vibrant culture through fanzines and collaborations with legendary queer icons.

Rooted in folklore, fairytale, and ancestral reverence, her hand-sewn dolls and poppets are sacred vessels—painted, stitched, and assembled with care, each one a portal of story and spirit. By 2010, her art evolved into ceremonial performances offered in service to the community and collective transformation.

A student of parapsychology since 1988, Cheyanne is also a full-time evidential medium and intuitive life coach, weaving mysticism and meaning into every aspect of her work. From San Francisco to Seattle to New Orleans, her journey now finds her in the Catskill Mountains, where she continues to channel beauty, healing, and old-world enchantment.

This June, she brings a new installation and workshop to Lily Dale for Pride—an offering of presence, memory, and magic (June 12th-June 14th).
