Artist’s Statement for Our Common Humanity Series
 This collection honors my mother who greeted strangers by saying, “We have a lot in common: our humanity.” I hope to portray the beauty of all people.  By showing people of color as everyday sacraments, I try to depict the Divine in each person we meet.
 I want to convey emotion. As the mother of two Guatemalan daughters, my motive is to promote inter-racial relationships.  My daughters inspired some works.
 These faces remind us to look in the eyes of another to encounter our humanity. I want to break down barriers. For me, art involves slowing down to see. I dwell with characters when I take the time to paint. Relationships tell stories of immigration, resistance, caring, and joy; our interconnectedness.

​Everyone has a comfort place or somewhere they consider a second home where they like to relax and escape reality. For me, my comfort place is Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. My family and I look forward to visiting Myrtle Beach every summer. It’s a time where we all get to escape our busy lives and spend time together. I have gone there my entire life, and now that I'm older, I get to travel there year round and share the experience with not only my family but my friends as well.
For my Capstone, I wanted to engage in both something enjoyable and meaningful to me. I pursued graphite drawings and made use of photographs that my family and I have captured in Myrtle Beach throughout the years. My drawings depict how much sentimental value this place holds for my family and I, and how many fond memories we’ve created there over the past few decades.
