It all started with my parents leaving everything behind and risking their lives for a better future for their children. Being a first generation born in United States I also have the great honor of being the first college graduate in my family. Living in a divided world as a child had its challenges. Once in school I was taught English at an early age. Speaking Spanish at home and English in school, trying to translate my homework to my mom and to explain what events were happening. It was a struggle to figure things out on my own when my parents knew so little of the American lifestyle. Difficulty struck when I told them I wanted to pursue my art instead of becoming a doctor.

The dedication and love for art began at an early age in elementary school, which I took more seriously in late middle school with the help and inspiration from an amazing art teacher, who helped me believe that I had great potential. After attending and graduating from Say Si, an after school art program during High School in San Antonio, TX. I studied at Texas State University in San Marcos, TX living there for just over two years, graduating on the Dean’s list with a Bachelors in Fine Arts in 2015.

My work as a muralist, zine-ster, illustrator, painter and co-creator of Dos Gatas Podcast, has been showcased throughout South and Central Texas. When creating my artwork I have noticed that I am heavily influenced by my Latinx culture.
