Black Bird (2025)

Woman Made Gallery | Chicago, IL

My hands are drawn to clay, thread, and fiber—materials that speak through texture and rhythm. In every clay piece, stitch, glaze, and knot, I search for connection, for meaning made tangible. Each art form is a quiet offering, a story shaped by intuition and care. My ceramic work is rooted in my early inspirations as a young girl. I use wheel-throwing and slab-building techniques, painting each surface with underglazes, glazes, and freehand self taught drawings. My work is a reflection of my Mexican heritage—an homage to generations of craft, culture, and memory.
