Hello, I’m .studio, one of the 2024 AIM Fellows at . One of the best parts of the program so far has been learning what business practices are essential for maintaining a career in the arts. Had it not been for AIM, I wouldn’t understand what a proper relationship with a gallery is supposed to be like, how to manage my taxes, or what this artist’s lifestyle may entail.

In addition to participating in AIM, I completed a residency at as a part of their program this past summer. I also recently began the International Studio & Curatorial Program () NYCT Van Lier Residency—see my work at their upcoming Open Studios this November.

My practice consists of mixed-media assemblage pieces that center around the Dominican diaspora and archiving of our history.
