About the Artist
I crave to make a mark; it is in the making of the mark
that I carve my existence bone against bone.
I Have Pierced Abuelita, She is Returning Self-Portrait Did She Greet You With Salt for Your Wounds
I Thought You Were My Abuelita Mi Hermano Behind Bars I Am Wounded and I Am Bleeding Is This the Rape of a Woman or a Culture?
My Mother Rose The Birth of La Raza And In the Name of...They Came Untitled
Mujer De La Tierra These Are the Colors of My Skin I Am of the Earth I Wonder If the Earth Weeps for Her Own

I am an Artist. My art is birthed through the body, through the written symbol; language I am involved in art as a tool for empowerment, social change and transformation. I use art as a critical tool of both expression and inquiry to rupture and create alternative spaces for political, social, and artistic expression.
