mixed media EmbroiderY ART
Below you’ll find my Mixed Media Embroidery Art projects.
I make mixed media embroideries that explore autobiographical and historical themes. I also create conceptual studio projects inspired by nature, the cosmos, and Puerto Rican culture. Some pieces are stand-alone, while others are part of a collection.
Some of these works may feature poetry or text fragments to add an additional layer of meaning.
All works are available for sale. Open for commissions as well. Please inquire with an email here. I would love to hear from you!

The Quiet Puerto Rican Series - 1 of 3 (Digital Self-portrait Photography, Collage, and Embroidery) 11in x 14in Canvas Panel. This series is about how growing up during my teens and into early adulthood, I was constantly told by others, especially other Puerto Ricans that I met outside of my neighborhood, that I was not Puerto Rican. They wouldn't believe me when I said I was. No matter my features, or my last name, or where I grew up, all they could see was my skin tone. So in this series, I am bringing the inside (the Taino blood running through my veins) out. The embroidery is based on actual Taino petroglyphs, pottery, and other artifacts found all over Puerto Rico. This series earned an Honorable Mention in the 2024 Student Salon Show at The Art Students League.

Scroll of the Simurgh - (Black Ink Monotype, Needle Felting, and Embroidery) 10in x 30in Hanging Scroll. This stand-alone piece was inspired by the video game Prince of Persia and the legend of the Simurgh, an Ancient Persian mythical bird. The Simurgh featured in the game was wonderfully designed and it inspired me to create my own version of it.

Into the Sea of Memory - (Watercolor Crayon, Colored Pencil, Collage, and Embroidery) 11in x 14in Watercolor Paper Framed. This stand-alone piece was inspired by memory and its many layers. The memories that we remember and those that come to us at times when we need them most, to help push us forward. Those jewels in the sea of our memory, shining through the depths to reach and remind us, we'll make it through.
