Artist Statement of Work
Tell us about your work (style, approach, philosophy, subject and/or theme):
I am a filmmaker and visual artist born and raised in San Antonio Texas.
The throughline of my body of work is my intention to give a voice to underrepresented people. My goal is to bring to light subjects that affect us all but often take a larger toll on southern demographics. My past projects have centered around wealth disparity, healthcare, reproductive rights, epigenetics for profit, and LGBT+ stories.
