A lot of her work is rooted in her experience of being a woman of color–Colombian and Black–and living in America. “I often say my art style parallels my experience in society–always seen in fragments, never whole.” Nature plays a very important role in her life, seeking quiet moments in peaceful natural environments to feel grounded and to recenter herself. Nature allows her to be free and truly feel part of something bigger. “This sense of connection to a greater purpose keeps me going and gives me the power to create.” She was one of three chosen people that were asked to work with Playboy for their #PlayboyHoodie Challenge because of her artistic style and values. She was given the chance to create a new piece of artwork that spoke to the Playboy brand, “but also to who I was as an artist.”
