about

I am an interdisciplinary artist, educator, and producer living in Oakland, CA. I earned my BFA with a concentration in painting and art history in 2010 from San Francisco State University, and have worked with Bay Area creative networks for over 15 years. My work is inspired by abstraction, surrealism, and the Central and South American lands that shape my cultural roots. I feel drawn to exploring the movement of natural resources and the migration of people through my creative process which includes painting, photography, and digital arts. I am deeply influenced by technology, especially in terms of communication across artificial borders, as it allows me to break down barriers and connect globally. I especially enjoy using AI as it allows me to create without previous limitations as I reimagine our evolving landscapes and how we relate to the natural world.
