My artwork will always be mutually personal and for others. I feel that my art allows me to be an ambassador for my country and culture, and show people that Mexicans are more than just the cliche image of blue-collar workers. Art can be educational, build bridges and safe spaces, and connect humans. I am blessed to be able to do that through my printmaking, painting and projects with non-profits and my community. Community is a big part of my work wether it be through teaching, exhibitions or public artwork. My mission is to expand horizons, inspire, educate, and be a contributing member of society. I see myself as a part of something bigger and hope to leave a great legacy for future generations. You never know who’s life you may be able to touch.
