My work emerges from the layered realities of living as a nuevamexicana Rooted in Albuquerque and Chimayó (Tsi-Mayoh), New Mexico. my practice explores longing, grief, memory, and devotion to the land. Through sculpture, pottery, painting, film, collage, and assemblage; I engage rematriation, prehispanic cosmology, and the sacred relationship between people and the natural world.

Using materials such as wood, clay, adobe, charcoal, beads, plants, and found objects, I create spaces that feel both ancient and alive. My hands create altars for remembrance, mourning, healing, and transformation. Influenced by ritual, collaboration, and the belief that art can function as prayer and medicine, my work imagines worlds where Indigenous knowledge, intuition, and care practices survive despite systems of extraction and erasure.

I am especially interested in the spirit of matriarchy as a mode of dismantling patriarchal capitalism—reorienting toward interdependent care, reciprocity, and the cyclical intelligence of nature. Through animation and storytelling, I create dreamlike spaces where myth, memory, and spirituality coexist, while my sculptural and community-based works ground these ideas materially within the land itself.

my work is an offering to my ancestors, to the land that raised me, and to creating new worlds rooted in tenderness and remembrance.
