-Who are you? What do you do? (Artist Bio)
I am a curious creative and small business owner born and raised in the enchanting island of Puerto Rico and have been lucky to be a guest on Lingít Aani where I live, learn, explore, and create. Through my art, I aim to create pieces that uplift and empower, encouraging others to showcase their true selves and find joy in every moment.
-Who/what inspires you?
Honestly, anything and everything! Whether it's the people I meet, the places I explore, the conversations I have, or the emotions I feel – they're all sparks for my creativity. I know it might sound like a cliché, but it's the truth. The artworks that stick with people are the ones that come straight from these genuine sources of inspiration. Whenever I've tried to make something just because I thought it would be popular or look good on someone's wall, it never quite hits the mark. That's why I've decided to always create from the heart.
-What is your favorite moment in the process?
I absolutely love every aspect of it – it's like being caught up in an enchanting whirlwind!
Each phase holds its own kind of magic. There's something incredibly fulfilling about each stage, to the extent that I often feel a bit lost in between projects.
-What is a trick of your trade or a piece of advice for artists in your medium(s)?
Stay curious, never stop asking questions, and explore as many techniques and mediums as you can. Most importantly, stay true to yourself. The world of art is incredibly diverse, and by experimenting, you'll discover what truly resonates with you.
-What’s next?
My focus is on continuous creation, growing my business and brand, and diving into more artistic adventures. I've got some really exciting plans in the works! One is a super fun and colorful Little Monster show that's sure to bring joy. And I'm also working on something close to my heart—a journey through my experiences in the Diaspora. It's a blend of my time in Juneau with my Puerto Rican heritage, reflecting on how these parts of my identity have shaped me.
