Welcome to a look inside my studio!
After years working as a muralist in the heat of San Diego, Sacramento and Mexico, my studio in the snowy hills offers a massive shift in materials. This post features a new short video that captures the tranquility and the powerful contrast of my first winter here.
Watch the intricate process of making these sculptural masks out of palm fronds. The use of natural fibers is a deliberate choice, blending the material connection to warmer climates with the quiet solitude of the snow outside. This short gives you a glimpse into my palm frond art technique, showing how I adapt my background in bold Chicano art to create these unique, woven natural sculptures. It’s a study in sustainable art and the power of materials to tell a story.
