ARTIST STATEMENT

South Florida inspires my large-scale surreal paintings, found object installations, and community-centered environmental initiatives. I have a Masters in Environmental Studies from Florida International University and a BFA in Studio Art and a BA in Art History from Florida State University, I merge my academic knowledge with my artistic passion to bring public awareness to environmental issues inspired by the nature and the people around me working to make the world a better place. My projects bring together a diverse range of stakeholders, from artists to scientists, lawyers to families, fostering a collective understanding of Miami's resilience in the face of climate change. I've been a resident artist at the Miami Dade Library system with ProjectArt USA and exhibited at renowned venues such as Deep Space Gallery, Locust Projects, PAMM, MOCA Nomi, and Superfine!

Join me in this artistic journey where mysticism meets environmental advocacy, as we explore the heart of Miami's vibrant soul at the nexus of climate issues and its potential to inspire change through the fusion of art, science and solution based activism.
