(b. Kansas City, Kansas 1999)

Kansas City Art Institute, class of 2024.

Throughout her artistic career her identity and purpose as a Mexican-American woman has greatly influenced her work. Her Hispanic heritage drives a majority of the conceptual meanings behind her works. Currently she is exploring the notion of playfulness and what it means to play with constant reflection of self. Childhood memories and toys are what drives most of her direction. Her sculptures question functionality and what it feels like to completely transform the objects from their original meaning. The purpose of creating nonfunctional relics is to provoke a reaction of longing and deliberation within viewers questioning their own definitions of experiencing childhood, and adulthood. The work confronts issues and occurrences in life in a very straightforward way. The sculptures process growth and loss forcing soft tones and delicate objects to transform into harsh materials. There is a desire to make the work relatable so it reaches far beyond one's own comprehension. Her body of work as an entirety represents the capsulation of objects and memories solidified in a moment of time with the physicality of the materials.
