I paint the spaces between—what’s seen and hidden, inherited and chosen, wild and rooted.

My Wildflowers series is an ode to untamed strength—beauty that grows where it isn’t expected. I see these blooms as metaphors for women and immigrants alike: thriving in unpredictable conditions, resisting containment, blooming anyway.

In She Said, I turn inward to explore the quiet tension between a woman’s inner voice and the face she shows the world. These works hold emotional duality—confidence and vulnerability, silence and assertion—in layered brushwork and vivid palettes.

My Rewilding series marks a personal turning point: the transition from a demanding legal career into creative life. Before painting full-time, I worked as an immigration attorney—a role that taught me to see complexity and listen for what’s unspoken.

That listening continues in my newest work, where themes of migration, memory, and cultural inheritance surface more directly. In my latest series about my family's immigration story, in one painting, Zafra Dreams, for instance, I revisit my father’s forced labor cutting sugarcane in Cuba—a history that quietly shaped me, and now finds voice in paint.

Across all my work, I paint women as they are—uncontained, resilient, becoming. And I paint the emotional landscapes we carry, between memory and future, root and bloom.
