I am a woman. I am Black. I am Hispanic. I am 23 years old. As much as I wish to embrace all these, they are labels I wish to transcend in my artistic career. I desire to make positive images for all.

"Through all of time, people have usedart to tell their most important stories: the feats of a hero, the teachings of a leader, the struggles of a nation." -George L. Knox III

The canvas of my life has been stretched through many generations. It bears the colorful strokes of my ancestors and the bold imagery of my individuality. As a result, my artwork is part narrative, part abstract- drawing subject matter from personal stories and social commentary. In my exploration of the narrative, I've found that the medium truly feeds the message. Consequently, my works move in between painting and installation.

I explore both physical and emotional space in an effort to construct alternative means of discussing: society, identity, and cultural stereotypes. My paintings, whether abstract or figurative - consist of rich colors and a multitude of layers.

My work is ultimately the visual biography of a biracial artist. As a descendant of many great people- I feel obliged to continue their legacies and use art as a catalyst for cultural enrichment and change. My life is a great storybook, revealing itself more to me each day. I have many stories to tell, and I create because sometimes there just are no words.
