“I identify as a dream illustrator - a painter of souls. I paint and draw the dark feminine, often in oil on canvas, inspired by indigenous women and imagination: representing empowered sisterhood on a micro and macro level through portraiture and environmental visual art.
Having researched, studied and worked closely with indigenous people, they are at the heart of my work. I grew up between the two worlds of urban Texas and coastal Mexico, and traveling has always given me a broader, deeper perspective on native cultures: I have painted many of my indigenous series in Florence, Italy, Granada, Spain and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

“Sonoran Sisters”
Pencil on paper. Gold leaf detail. 50 x 37”
This piece is about the Interconnection between women, tribes and nations through family, trade and culture. Sisterhood on an micro and macro level. The gold detail highlights the ironic reality in which these women find themselves in: richness in culture and in many ways poor materially according to western world’s standards yet they often wear high quality gold jewelry.
