Artist Statement


Growing up in a struggling yet strong migrant family has given me the opportunity to attend St. Edward’s University where I have been able to expand my use of mediums beyond a pen and pencil. Although my lifestyle has been adverse and residences many and diverse, my family remained determined and united. My work reflects the importance of family in its subject, and work ethic  in the meticulous process of my work . My work is slowly building up to reflect another big impact other than family and that is the migrant lifestyle itself.  My story is just one of many and it will be a goal of mine to bring out to the light the real emotions, conditions, and struggles of the migrant worker through figurative and literal images composed through mix media.
