My work emerges from a multidisciplinary practice that includes painting, relief printmaking, and sculpture—each medium allowing me to explore different layers of personal and collective experience. As a Chicana/Mexican American artist, my identity and lived experiences are inseparable from my process. I create from memory, from emotion, and from the stories that shaped me, allowing each piece to become a bridge between the past and the present.

 

Printmaking grounds my practice in symbolism and narrative. The repetition, carving, and physical labor of relief printing create space for reflection, allowing me to examine heritage, family, and cultural memory with intention. Painting offers an emotional and intuitive space; I build images through layering, gesture, and color, letting forms emerge as I process internal landscapes. Sculpture adds a physical dimension to my work, pushing me to explore form, resilience, and transformation through material and structure.

 

Across all mediums, I am drawn to themes of connection, motherhood, community, and the emotional resilience found within everyday life. My goal is to create work that is both intimate and expansive—rooted in my own journey, yet open enough for others to see themselves within the imagery. I hope my practice encourages viewers to reflect on their own stories, memories, and experiences of belonging.
