Welcome to where make-believe meets human experience! I delve into the vulnerable whispers of the heart and shove them into the hands of your attention. Something ignored will never heal or be empathized with. So my work builds a world where it is safe to wonder, possible to hope, and brave to feel.

From murals to bold colors to sculptures of bizarre materials, I bring passion and energy to every project. I find works of art in the simplest moments: snippets of someone's laugh or the rustle of an Autumn breeze. It is my calling to capture these moments as a call to action in wonder, and to glorify God by his creation.

I'm a Catholic Latina artist based in Charlotte, NC. I've created public art for Novant Health facilities, the city of Charlotte, festivals, and murals for private clients. My work has been exhibited in galleries such as Nine Eighteen Nine, Central Piedmont Community College, and Charlotte Art League, and has been published in the book Celebrating Art South 2021. My poetry and illustrations will be featured in a new poetry book this Summer!
