I currently live and work in San Antonio. I graduated from DePaul University with a BA in Art Education. I have taught art to all ages, from preschool to elders. Currently I teach painting and drawing to aging adults. My first solo exhibit, Mujer Tierra, was in the fall of 2023 at Bihl Haus Gallery. I am currently working on a project exploring a trifecta of food topics; food insecurity, community gathering around food, and food as art. This project will be exhibited during Fotosepteimbre 2025.
