Oil on canvas

A lot of my work is driven by personal narratives. Being a first generation American with Spanish as my first language, shifting careers from corporate lawyer to full time Artist, and becoming a mother after years of struggling with infertility. When I look at the body of my work, starting over a decade ago to now, there’s a big focus for me on these themes of change and evolution, and this idea of duality and straddling worlds. I’ve been recognizing that my work, especially my current paintings, are created in an emotional response to that.

This piece is named “It’s Nearly Light” because I thought about the shift between night and morning when the world isn’t quite awake but I’m there in the quiet knowing that there is so much that the new day will bring and that’s where I like to live.
