I am a child of Borikén. I come from people who touched the land as a guide; adorned their body with shells and told stories across walls.

My body resides on native lands of other peoples, while my heart remains in the Caribbean. As an artist I aspire to tell narratives of how we in the diaspora find our way home through art. Birds serve as a reminder that no matter how we migrate we always will find a way to make home. Our bodies may move, but our minds keep memory of who and where we came from.

Inspired by the Taíno-Arawak people. I capture how they built relationship with the natural world and captivated a pathway back to our roots and the other dimensions that define us.

I give thanks to my elders who have taught me the importance of honoring ones truth; to my abuelito Jose González who passed on his talent of art-making and bird admiring. Most importantly, I give thanks to my Creator who guided me back to myself and my people.
