I am a multidisciplinary artist currently based in San Francisco, with a background in design, curriculum development, and cultural organizing.
My artwork explores what it means to navigate womanhood within a globalized, technocratic America. I reflect on themes of change, identity, and connection—layering vibrant colors and symbolic imagery to evoke emotional, environmental, and political tension.
My practice blends sincerity with playfulness, drawing from personal memory, cultural inheritance, and the rhythm of everyday life.
As a Venezuelan-American, my heritage is an integral part of my work—it shapes how I express myself and deeply informs my visual language.
