"I am a current MFA Drawing candidate at Kendall
College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids, MI in the United States of America. I studied Fine
Arts and Visual Arts Management for my undergraduate degree at Columbia College
Chicago. As a biracial female artist, of Mexican and German descent, my life and work are
fascinated with anthropology and temporal ethnocentric constructs. My work questions
perceptions and ideals by exploring subjective reality, liminality, and interconnectivity."
