About Me

I'm a Chicana artist from San Antonio, Texas now stranded somewhere far away in space, maybe even further than Pluto. My vision for art and storytelling incorporates an eclectic mix of subverted Catholic imagery from my Mexican and Italian heritage with lush surreal dreamscapes. Although, sometimes they can turn a bit nightmarish. But my obsession with dreams and the unconscious could be considered a morbid curiosity!

 

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 lesbian and non-binary femme.

 

Characters are fully realized creations in my art, the graphic art style focusing on unique faces and diverse bodies. I like to focus on writing about Chicanos and its intersection with also being Queer. I am currently working on short stories and graphic novels in my home with three cats to keep me good company.
