My work is rooted in my experiences as a brown woman. As a multimedia figurative sculptor, I explore the other. The work address themes of identity, power and labor while celebrating the feminine as a force of resilience. My artistic practice often centers women’s work, culture, and history, usually through the lens of personal and collective SWANA stories and experiences.
