I’m a Florida-based artist, art educator, and founder of Bay to Bay Arts, with a passion for connecting communities through the arts—both locally and abroad. I hold a BA in Studio Art from the University of South Florida and work in mixed media, painting, ceramics, and photography. Born in Panama and raised in Florida, my heritage deeply influences my artwork, blending tropical, urban, and graffiti styles, while embodying the effects of man vs nature. I’ve taught art to youth and adults across Tampa Bay and abroad. I love teaching the art of experimentation through hands-on processes in painting, and ceramics, always aiming to spark creativity and self-expression. My work has been exhibited locally, through murals and exhibitions, which include locations such as the USF Contemporary Art Museum and the Skatepark of Tampa.

I'm a mixed-media artist and art educator with a background in psychology and a Master’s in Arts in Health from the University of Florida. Inspired by artists like Frida Kahlo, I value personal expression and bring a playful, reflective approach to teaching. My teaching experience includes leading art activities in camps, after-school programs, and community projects. I work with a variety of kids- neurodivergent, community, at-risk, and Spanish speaking.  My teaching blends foundational skills with creative freedom, encouraging students to build confidence and connect with their unique artistic voices.
