Visual Art
I am a self-taught artist relishing the opportunity to create work that provokes in playful but pointed ways.
From plastic wrap to tortillas, embroidery floss to AI tools, I experiment with unconventional materials,
exploring the limitations they provide while incorporating humor and political statement.
Since 2020, I have focused on making digital art,
and jumped into creating NFTs in early 2022.
Worried about the environmental impact of NFTs? Me, too.
In fact, I have become a spokesperson for regenerative (green and planet-supporting) NFTs.
Contributing to climate solutions is my whole reason for creating NFTs.

Rayan (Water Women series)
Water Women
After developing a chronic joint disease as a result of being infected
by a mosquito-borne virus in Mexico, I had to give up embroidery.
Happily, I have discovered a new way to create "stitched" art
using digital tools!
Water Women features portraits of women embellished by textural "threads" created digitally.
Each title is a given name with a meaning related to water.
This series honors those who must stitch together new homes, livelihoods, and communities after displacement due to climate change.
A percentage of proceeds will be donated to Climate-Refugees.org
