The piece “Displaced” has won several awards including 1st place AYAA 2023, traveled across Arkansas in the “2024 Small Works on Paper Juried Show, and recognized by congressman J. French Hill, marking its significance not only in my personal journey but also in the broader artistic landscape. ——This piece is all about longing to return to Venezuela as I have only gone when I was little as it is too dangerous to visit my family now due to government corruption & anti USA agenda. Also seeing an artist’s work @cruizberman at @kempermuseum influenced my composition. I remember wanting to have a mixture of more abstract and realistic figures in my work then I see his. Then one day I was in Mr. Deloney’s class and overcome with emotion, I doodled the composition. This piece was done in about a month during march 2023 to April 2023. I remember partly painting this piece in the woods at wildwood park on a sunny day. Materials are just acrylic paint on illustration board. 

apart of my Fine Art Nature Portfolio: "Connect with Your Higher Self and The Divine Through Nature"(2022-2023)

Created during my senior year of high school, this collection is a meditation on ancestry, spirituality, and femininity. Through these works, I explored three guiding questions:

• How do I find connection in my ancestral roots, nature, and self?

• Can nature provide a space for introspection and self-realization?

• What does it look like to embody my newly discovered femininity?

This series weaves together the natural world of Arkansas with themes of identity, divinity, and self-acceptance.
