I am a Honduran-born, self-taught visual artist based in Grinnell, Iowa. In my art, I am constantly seeking a sense of belonging and finding my home in the natural environment. Using bright fabrics as my working surface, I contrast solid-colored figures in the foreground with multicolored, translucent tints to create mixed media paintings of baroque excess. In my most current work, I challenge two dimensionality and experiment with textile sculptural forms.
