The women was convinced Print

Dominican born artist. I Take inspiration for my work from my countries rich culture and complicated heritage as well as the strong, fearless, women ( my mother and grandmother) who raised me. I also use historical and biblical women for inspiration. My focus is the use of color, texture, found objects , words, to tell a story. I use strong facial expression to relate a feeling, emotion, as well as tell a narrative. I use recycled material as often as I can to do my part for the environment as well as a reminder of the poverty and the need to reuse materials that my mother and grandmother needed to utilize in order to survive. I use paper, fabric, pen, ink, paint, stencils, etc. In most of my work. Makes it interesting and creates lovely texture. I make my own wooden support.
