NMSU 2019 Juried Student Show Exhibition
This year, I was very honored to have had one of my pieces chosen for the Juried Student Show at my university. My piece, "Natural Medication" was a take on my anxiety medication that I have been on for years, and how it has become as natural to me as having a glass of water in the morning. It's portrayed in a colorful, abstract representation of the help that I receive for my anxiety, and how it has become a part of my routine.

Voices of Change Exhibit - Branigan Cultural Center - Fall 2019
Las Cruces, NM
The "Voices of Change" exhibit was an LGBTQ+ themed art exhibit, with multiple artists reflecting certain aspects surrounding the community. My artwork reflected my relationship with my sexuality and my beliefs. These works show that even though there is negativity in the Christian community surrounding the LGBT community, there is still love and support to be found from God. Love can always be found.

Empowered Creations: Celebrating Women Artists
The pieces I presented for this show were the most vulnerable of any work I had made previously. The photographs that were shown were of the three scars I have on my body, which resulted from my birth and the events that were needed to keep me alive.
They are paired with a poem each.
