ABOUT THE ARTIST

Welcome!

​

I am a first-generation Guatemalan-American artist and educator, born and raised in Los Angeles. My artistic practice centers on oil painting, though I love experimenting with various media. Much of my work is deeply rooted in my Latino heritage and mental health, using vibrant colors and light to bring these themes to life through an impressionistic lens.

​

As both an artist and educator, my mission is to connect people through the power of art. I believe in the importance of diverse representation within the arts and am passionate about incorporating contemporary artists of color into my curriculum. Having worked with students of all ages, from elementary to high school, I strive to create inclusive spaces where people can explore their creativity, build confidence, and see themselves reflected in the art world.

​

Ultimately, I aim to inspire younger generations to embrace their creative potential both inside and outside the classroom, fostering a lifelong connection to the arts.
