Art shaped by gesture, scar, and the rhythm of becoming.
I’m a multidisciplinary artist exploring the human figure as a powerful lens for identity, emotion, and lived experience. My work is rooted in personal narratives—reflections on self-image and the layered nuances of embracing my mixed race identity. I discovered my rich Black and Hispanic heritage later in life, and this has become a central thread in how I examine culture, belonging, and equity through art.
After retiring from a long career in corporate graphic design in 2022, I fully committed to my art practice. Working across traditional and digital media—including expressive gesture drawing, experimental painting, printmaking, collage, and video—I often explore themes of movement, identity, and healing. Dance, in particular, holds deep meaning for me. In 1982, a serious car accident interrupted my budding passion for contemporary dance. Decades later, I began reconnecting with movement through a multidisciplinary process that blends physical mark-making with digital experimentation. This approach allows me to revisit dance as a form of personal and cultural expression—reclaiming what was lost and transforming it into something new.
My goal is to create art that invites connection, empathy, and reflection on the many ways our bodies reveal personal and collective histories and shared experiences.
