A Drop of Paint

This photo was taken at Gibbs Garden in the spring. I'd never seen such a beautiful, imperfect flower that looked like it had been partially painted. The bright color caught my eye.

Technicolour Dream Cup

A cup of tea sitting on a wooden trolley, in the sun, in the front porch.

Finding Beauty Everywhere

I believe it's possible to take a beautiful photograph almost anywhere, so I didn't hesitate to take a photo of that pool on that sunny day, simple but beautiful.

A Happy Turtle in a Fancy Jacket

I learned a new painting technique called dot painting. Comes from old aboriginal art.

Palacio De Generalife

This was a walkway at the Alhambra palace in Spain.

Hummingbird

A small, beautiful, and fast bird. (Drawing made with non-professional colored pencils)

3D Nail Art

Taking my art to the next level by learning to experiment with all different types of nail art...this is one of my favorites!

Poem from a Mom Dealing with LAMA2

My poem states my life with postpartum and LAMA2-CMD.

La Llorona

My painting of La Llorona or The Weeping Woman is Mexico's most famous folk tale & my favorite. Since I use my works to advocate for people with disabilities, this one is meant to bring awareness to the disabled in the Latino community.

Portrait of Marina Frutos

A portrait I did of my grandmother as if she was on a Mexican banknote. It has 2 purposes: to bring disability awareness & awareness of Mexican culture. Last year, it was accepted into a "Dia de los Muertos" gallery (Mexican Halloween).

A Happy Sheep, Louisa

Louisa, my first creation made of clay. When you can't sleep, think of Louisa...and she'll keep you company on your wildest adventures.

My Whole World

On Christmas Day 2022, I lost my whole world. My dog, Saxa, passed away unexpectedly and she was the best girl. Always by my side and always down for any adventure. I miss her every day.

Minors (17 & Under)

Safety

This work was inspired by my mom's and family's love.

Deep in the Ocean

My painting shows two powerful mythical creatures battling, a kraken and a dragon. Both are mysterious and beautiful in their own way.
