I am an LA native, born and raised in the heart of Los Angeles, near Union Station, Chinatown, and Los Angeles State Historic Park.
I am a mom, a student, a worker, a wife, a daughter, a sister, and an artist of this time. Artist was the first role I decided to take on when I was 4 years old. I do not see it as only a vocation but as something that I am. “This is who I am and who I will be,” I remember vividly internally saying to myself while being covered in yellow paint in preschool. I remember feeling relief and a sort of comfort as I glanced at the easel and my fingers. I found comfort in the act of being this person who was creating art and was going to create it for a long time after that.
I do not plan my art pieces, but instead let my mind and fingers give birth to each piece on their own. The reason for my process being this way is that it just feels like I am not the only one creating, but someone bigger than myself is channeling me and accompanying me while I create. Someone bigger than me is working through me to create the pieces that are already written in history to be created by my hand.
My artwork is about my Awakening to God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit as I journey with having an invisible psychological disability. My journey is presented expressively through my inner psyche visualizations, which are mainly born in my daydreams or late nights up. It's about his presence in my everyday struggles, my successes, and his being part of my life as I battle the everyday.
