Acrylic, Print, Mixed Media

I am a visual artist primarily working with oil paint, linoleum carving, and various other mediums. Through my art, I share personal stories and memories conveyed through every brush stroke and carving. I strive to create work that everyone can enjoy whilst highlighting the Mexican immigrant experience. I leave a piece of me and my culture in everything that I create.
