I am an Bi-cultural Mexican-American interdisciplinary artist and my pronouns are She/He/ They/ Them. I studied a variety of media to express my ideas. 
I earned my Associates of Art at the Dodge City Community College where I focused on developing my skills in both two dimensional art and community engagement. I painted a lot and helped implement a variety of different projects as the president of the art club.

At the University of Kansas I shifted my focus to the third dimension and got my Bachelors in fine art. While in Lawrence Kansas I became a member of the Lawrence Creates Makers Space and held a board position at the Lawrence Perkolator both art spaces dedicated to serving local artists. I also helped on a large scale mural project located at the Lawrence Public Library

​My work is influenced by my experiences as a Latinx woman in the Midwest. Art has been my passion since I was a small child.
 I am dedicated to building inclusive safe spaces. I have a deep interest in decolonizing how art is valued and received.
​I hope create more opportunities to engage others in making art more accessible.
