Beetle and Green Leaf Print

I was born in Quito, Ecuador and lived in different places through my life such as Italy, France, Spain, Mexico and now I'm based in Brooklyn, New York. I'm a global citizen with Ecuadorian roots. I am a multimedia artist working with drawing, fiber, ceramics, paint, found objects, the possibilities are endless. The medium varies depending on how best to tell a story and create characters that allow the work to inhabit a space. Although my process is intuitive, and free-flowing I incorporate an intentional design philosophy that defines a sense of place. Symbolism reveals a spiritual relationship with the natural environment connecting people to each other and connecting humans to plants, trees and animals. I am often working in a public place, interacting with the built environment or interior architecture. I see myself as a place-maker with a responsibility to the people and communities who are connected to a place. The work is inherently generous meant to give the viewer a joyful experience.
