About my Art Practice

I am an artist and educator focused primarily on illustration, painting, and printmaking. I grew up in Albuquerque and am proud to be a 17th-generation New Mexican. I received my bachelor's degree in Art History and Architecture at Barnard College and worked for various architecture and graphic design firms including Luke Bulman Office in Brooklyn and Design Plus here in Albuquerque. I was also the education director for Indigo Moose, a sister organization of Design Plus, teaching design programs for elementary and middle school students. I currently teach art and design independently through FUSE Makerspace and Harwood Art Center.  Teaching is such an important part of how I share my work because it offers a way to engage with art in a communally focused way.  As I look to the future, I remain committed to creating art that celebrates the beauty of New Mexico and fosters connection.
