My work synthesizes the natural ways of both my Aztec and Celtic ancestors and reintroduce them to a new world, one in need of healthier ways.  I process natural dyes to build my painting palettes through ethical foraging and traditional pigment-making methods that honor ancestral knowledge. I apply the dyes to watercolor paper mounted on wood panels. Each piece is infused with preserved mushrooms, mycelium, clay, and ethically foraged, earth-friendly, lightfast dyes.  Drawing from both ancestries, including the teachings of my healer grandmother, I create art that explores the profound relationship between humanity and nature. Grounded in historical practices and shaped by a commitment to sustainability, my paintings and sculptures advocate for climate awareness, environmental justice, and the use of regenerative materials.   My work with mycelium can clean the air as it hangs on the wall of a museum.

As an educator, I teach sustainable art practices, historical pigments, and environmental awareness, helping others integrate sustainability into their creative work and daily lives. My practice continues to bridge art, history, and environmentalism—nurturing a community dedicated to a greener and healthier future. My workshops on natural dyes and mycelium as a medium connect participants to historical techniques and give them the tools to reconnect with the natural world—empowering them to craft eco-conscious art using regenerative materials such as agar, algae, and mycelium substrates.
