Marigolds with Mexican Blanket
Vibrant orange marigolds rest against a traditional Mexican blanket, creating a rich tapestry of color and cultural significance. This piece celebrates the textiles and flowers that define Mexican homes—the bright serape blankets passed down through generations and the cempasúchil that grace our altars.
The Mexican blanket represents warmth, tradition, and the handmade artistry of our culture. Marigolds hold sacred meaning, especially during Día de los Muertos, guiding spirits home with their brilliant petals and distinctive scent. Together, they create a meditation on memory, home, and the objects that connect us to our heritage.
I pay close attention to aspects of everyday life, documenting stories of community, culture, and shared memories. These are the textures and colors of Mexican-American life—bold, unapologetic, and beautiful.

Through the medium of oil paint, I borrow techniques from Old Renaissance masters to provide a platform for stories unheard, people unseen, and places overlooked. I aim to celebrate the richness of the Latino community and my Mexican heritage.
