Artist statement
I am a mixed media fiber artist drawing my inspiration from folk art traditions. Coming from South America, my work gives voice to the stories, mythology, and legends of that heritage.
At the heart of my practice is a simple message: everything is alive, and we exist across different dimensions. My tapestries are, above all, visions — woven expressions of a world alive with meaning beyond what we see.
