About Me

I'm a Chicana artist from San Antonio, Texas now stranded in a sleepy beach town in Michigan. My vision incorporates an eclectic mix of subverted Catholic imagery from my Mexican and Italian heritage with lush surreal dreamscapes.

 

I often focus on stories dealing with mental illness, as I live with schizoaffective disorder. Also being a survivor of sexual abuse, I go into stories to bring awareness and hopefully healing by showing characters with similar experiences. Often these characters are also LGBTQ+ as I am part of the community being Bi and non-binary.

 

Characters are fully realized creations in my art, the graphic art style focusing on unique faces and diverse bodies. The line quality has an Egon Schiele-esque vibe from classes attended at Kendall College of Art and Design. I am currently working on short stories and graphic novels in my home with two cats to keep me good company.
