Artist’s Note:
I convey the many facets of Puerto Rican ethnic identity and Latin culture in my work. I take photographs while traveling, research, learn, and connect with the people of these diasporas and communities to inspire a reference or a new body of work. My mission is to tell our stories and for this reason my work is aesthetically illustrative with culturally inspired color stories.
