"One might say that a lack of roots actually became a mixture of roots, intertwined by living in these very varied lands.

Made from Colombia, raised in New York, to later inhabit places, such as Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Guatemala has richly created a palette of diverse topics, shadows and women personifying resilience and identity.

Inviting you to inhabit my paintings will take you on a road not traveled as each color, shape and hidden creatures tell their story."
