~Manifesting a new Reality~ I was honored to work on this commission painting for @poderinaction The community was part of some under painting during the Resolution for Thriving Communities day. While it’s unfortunate that the proposition did not pass, but it was a powerful demonstration of community unity, and the fight continues for Thriving Communities! This painting is now part of Poder’s permanent collection. #chicanoart #community #artist ☀️🐌

“Aiming Towards Excellence” Oil on canvas Permanent collection of Phoenix College The Aiming Towards Excellence painting represents education, family, and the Seal of Excelencia. It is a portrait of an educated brown woman standing in her power with her gaze focused on the future. Her posture is a personification of the Seal of Excelencia. She experiences unimaginable hardships and yet remains resilient and graduates from Phoenix College. This woman has a story that many students relate to, striving towards their educational goals. The symbolism of support is expressed in the snails, which represent the importance of family. Snails take slow and steady steps forward. The message is to trust the process and know that you will reach your goal of finding your excellence here at Phoenix College. This painting can be viewed @ Phoenix College inside the Hannely Center.

“Guerrerense y Jalisciense” A new 12” x 12” oil painting that honors my parents’ roots in Guerrero and Jalisco, Mexico. This piece reflects my journey over the last two years of exploring and fusing both cultures within my art. Guerrero is represented by a Jaguar mask from Zitlala, while Jalisco is represented by a sculpture from West Mexico. This painting is part of an ongoing series embodying this cultural mixture. The painting is currently available for purchase. Please let me know if you have any inquiries or would like more information. Thank you @earthmakergallery for the opportunity to showcase @scottsdale_art_week this past weekend. ☀️🐌
