I was born in Houston, Texas to an American father and Welsh mother. I became disabled when I was eleven and withdrew into comic books for comfort. I received a BA in visual art from the University of Texas at Dallas in 2013. Drawing inspiration from Botticelli, Caravaggio, and Hans Bellmer, I work primarily in oil painting. I have now expanded my work into comics and illustration, and my work has been published in comics anthologies. All my work has a unifying concern with the representation of women in art and media.

Through old family Latino principles, I learned how to be a modern healer. I learned how to put the needs of others before my own, and how to broaden my understanding by putting myself in other people’s shoes. While still carrying those principles, I found a way to embody those values into a career. Through practices of art therapy, I found myself exceeding in the best way possible as a person. When I worked with children, I had the effectiveness that these kids were grasping and appreciating the tools I was giving them not only to grow as an artist, but as to grow as person.

I call it organized chaos.
