1980s

Little her danced every day, twirling in a fancy dress just because. Even then, she knew she carried magic within her. Growing up in Brooklyn and Harlem, she visited the corner bodega almost daily—entering with a handful of loose change and leaving with what felt like priceless treasure. In her abuelita’s kitchen, she learned the power of love and healing.

1990s

Art was her first language. Accepted to both Duke Ellington School of the Arts and Baltimore School for the Arts, she chose BSA—a place that wasn’t just a school; it was a sanctuary, a place where she could fully step into her artistry. After graduation, she studied filmmaking and sculpture at the School of Visual Arts and Maryland Institute College of Art.

2000s

A doctor once told her she couldn’t have children. Ten months later, she gave birth to her first child—then, every other year, three more times. Each child became a mirror, reflecting love and healing in ways she never imagined. Becoming a mother of four was the greatest gift she ever received. Parenting them also meant loving little her, offering a timeless and boundless love that healed both the visible and the invisible.

2010s

She poured herself into her plant-medicine practice and expressed her emotions through her art. Her passion for education led her to teach sculpture at Towson University, mentor MFA students at MICA, and bring mindfulness to young artists at BSA. Later, she returned to BSA as an Artist in Residence, a full-circle moment.

2020s

Her performances, video artworks, and mixed-media sculptural installations have been presented nationally in galleries and museums, including The Phillips Collection, the Smithsonian Hirshhorn Museum, the Baltimore Museum of Art, The Walters Art Museum, and Tribeca Film Festival. Through her work, she continues to create spaces for connection, healing, and transformation—where art, culture, and spirit intertwine.
