I was born (1998) in the unceded territory of lək̓ʷəŋən speaking peoples (Victoria, British Columbia, Canada) and am of Peruvian and Irish descent. My work is interdisciplinary; mediums include painting, drawing, audio, film, writing and performance.
The majority of my paintings are abstracted representational work dealing with the body, space, natural law, dreams, and function/motion of industrial objects. The confrontation of sex and power and the articulation of body horrors is also an act I do through art. I work primarily in oil and watercolour, sometimes branching into natural materials and utilizing found objects, mostly as tools for artmaking.
My undergraduate education in Global and International Studies specializing in Anthropology (Carleton University) and post-graduate degree in Art Therapy (Kutenai Art Therapy Institute) show up in my art through my interests in cultural experience, sociopolitical power dynamics, ritual and ceremony, and creation as essential to wellbeing.
