I paint, make comic books, self taught at 14+ indigenous instruments, produce science backed sound journeys, photograph fine art nudes to empower women, raise koi fish, graphic design, occasionally blow glass, fashion designer and have been known to sing in the shower like nobodies biz. Within each of these is a number of thoughts, series, chapters, ideations, feelings, adventures, failures, innovations, losses, successes and so on. Maybe someday, someone will have a full scope of it all. Someday. I know I’m forgetting something…

New work. Inspired by gathering today and wanted to start sharing tastes of things in the works.

Several years ago, I had my DNA done. It turns out I am a lot of things, but especially of Hispanic and indigenous descent. My ancestors range from Durango, Mexico, Patagonia, the Aleutian’s, the Sonoran desert, Plains & East woodlands and so many more. I went back, and I found traditional patterns, and tribal designs and created this pattern that I hope represents much of my ancestors. And then the City of Santa Ana chose it to be on a bus stop at Main and 4th streets. I guess my point is know where you’re from. 10 generations ago = 1024 ancestors for me alone…and while we’re here, let’s look out for eachother, cause they all have never stopped looking out for us. See ya at the bus stop.

As a female business owner, it's important to me to bring on a diverse range of artists because that makes my art gallery richer via an array of viewpoints

Pond inhabitant. A symbol of transformation, growth and change. For me, he keeps me tuned into what the pond needs next, and dances above the pond to bring my attention to the next learning opportunity. Along with up to 7 of his identical friends.

Happy 50th Hip Hop! I like to think I’ve been a part of all ‘4 Elements of Hip Hop’ and continue to do so. I’ve had the honor of working with and designing for such legends as and currently producing my own comic book about a graffiti writer turned ‘hood vigilante hero. It’s not fandom, it’s a lifestyle. It’s music, attuned to a frequency that speaks from the soul.
