Artist statement

---

All art tells a story. Sometimes, you readily understand the story, its beauty, and grace, or its darkness and density. At other times, art is elusive, and you find yourself scratching your head a bit, wondering what the artist intended. But all art pieces share this one beautiful thing: feeling. Whether you love or hate it, all art you view gives you a feeling.

For me, making art is communicating a story so you can feel it.

My artistic practice revolves around creating mixed media works that seek to answer several questions regarding "The Myth of Women.” I delve into themes of power, vulnerability, and the search for identity within a patriarchal society, trying to answer the question: are we what is projected onto us? 

Beyond the canvas, my artistic expression extends to large-scale, interactive art installations created for the celebrations of San Antonio's MuretosFest Day of the Dead. These immersive experiences allow me to engage with the community and foster dialogue and reflection on themes of mortality and remembrance.

Ultimately, I aim to create intellectually stimulating and emotionally moving art that prompts viewers to reflect on their journeys of self-discovery and transformation. 

And I hope I do it with enormous amounts of glitter and color!
