My work is characterized by a bold, spirit-led approach that invites viewers into an intimate dialogue with my soul. My abstract pieces, rich in acrylics and oils, are more than mere visual experiences; they are tactile journeys into the sacred and the personal. Employing techniques like impasto and acrylic pouring, I create textured canvases that resonate with honesty, compassion, and grace. Inspired by the quiet strength of my elders and the profound beauty of everyday moments, my art serves as a form of visual worship, a testament to her unwavering faith and her desire to uplift others.

Self-taught,  I embarked on a rigorous and self-directed artistic journey, crafting a personal program that combined online learning, art books, and the invaluable critique of my "good, educated, nerd friends." My dedication and passion have not only honed my skills but also garnered recognition, with my works featured in digital exhibitions across Europe and the Caribbean. Highlights include my participation in the ARTBOX.PROJECT Zürich 7.0 and my pieces showcased in esteemed venues such as Casa del Arte in Spain and Nicoleta Gallery in Germany.

Art transcends the canvas; it is a sacred unfolding of my life's story and a ministry of sorts, where Heaven meets earth. long-term aspiration is to inspire young people globally, inviting them to engage with the themes I explores through my work. While public acclaim is a welcome byproduct,my true mission lies in offering my art as a conduit for divine connection, encouraging viewers to seek a deeper spiritual understanding in their own lives.

About The Artist

Sound of Faith “Sound of Faith”

I am pleased that The Sound of Faith will be on digital display in the Nicoleta Gallery in Berlin, Germany for the month of August, 2025.

This is about loving God, not just with emotion, but with your whole mind. It’s about asking questions, thinking deeply, and staying committed even when life is confusing. This is what it means to worship with your intellect, choosing to believe with your heart and your mind. This artwork speaks to the soul like a quiet song playing in the background of life. The flowing lines and layered colors feel both messy and beautiful, like how life can be. At the center, a guitar-like shape stands out, reminding us that God’s word can feel like music, comforting, grounding, and filled with deeper meaning.

Just like a song that stays with you long after it's over, God’s truth keeps echoing in our hearts when we take the time to listen.

Chabaq of the Heart “Chabaq of the Heart”

This painting shows how love holds us, even when one of us is still healing or lost in the past. Two figures hold a single, glowing heart; one is clear and smiling, the other in shadow,finding their way back to the light.

Kampanera “Kampanera”

Kampanera — the one who rings the bell before and during the Holy Mass. This painting carries that belief. It’s a symbol of faith pushing back the unseen, the silent prayer turned into sound, and a reminder that even small acts of service — like ringing a bell — can carry a holy purpose. It’s a song of resistance, remembrance, and grace.

In Their Light (LGBTQ) “In Their Light (LGBTQ)”

This painting is dedicated to them. Many continue to fight for recognition, acceptance, and respect in a world that often overlooks their humanity. What they long for is simple: to feel that they belong. You don’t have to fully understand or accept them, but that doesn’t give anyone the right to demean or demonize them.

What God truly calls us to do regardless of gender or circumstance is to choose love and kindness above all. Even the late Pope Francis did not exclude the LGBTQ community. He welcomed them with compassion, recognizing that this is what God asks of us.

This artwork represents the color and the complex realities and silent struggles faced by LGBTQ individuals, stories that often go unseen. To my LGBTQ friends, this is for you. I see you, I hear you, and I love you even when society might say otherwise.

Orate Pro Nobis “Orate Pro Nobis”

"Orate Pro Nobis" Latin it means PRAY FOR US

This sacred art is a textured and symbolic exploration of faith, sacrifice, and hidden truths. At its center, a purple-toned girl marked with 33 distinct dots teaches us how to make the sign of the cross a guide for those who may not know how. It shows that we need to make sure our children learn how to pray from a very young age. After all, our children are our future. Most importantly the 33 dots represent the age of Jesus Christ at His death, grounding the work in deep spiritual reflection. I purposely camouflaged the cross, hidden above within the composition, to invite viewers to look beyond the obvious and search for meaning beneath the surface. At night, a shadow contouring glitter subtly emerges visible only in darkness symbolizing how divine presence often reveals itself more clearly during life’s most challenging moments. All the elements in my artwork are interconnected through this hidden cross.

Devine Catch “Devine Catch”

A vivid and symbolic self-portrait, a reflection of my spiritual calling, my passion for art, the fish symbolizing abundance, faith, and divine calling — and the layers of my personal and artistic journey.

This piece is not just an artwork. It is me, a vessel, an offering, a mission.
