It took me a long time to identify myself as an artist. I can’t draw, paint or sing. I take photographs. I capture what I see and understand around me. It helps me conceptualize those things that are hard for me to grasp or accept and it makes me happy. Once I realized that what I was doing was defining myself by the pictures I took, I came to the conclusion that being an artist is putting your emotions and your visions out there for every one to see. It’s about being brave and doing what you love, not matter what others think.

 

My favorite series of work are photographs that tell stories of my family, my friends, and my passions. My family has always been my most beautiful, consistent subjects. I have photographed memories that have long been forgotten. My friends are my models and guinea pigs for ideas that only they can understand and make real. And my passions, such as hip-hop, have lead me to my most recent piece of work, Women in Hip Hop. Thank you for coming by and enjoy!  paz y bendeciones.
