INTERNAL HEALING

Healing Through Art

My creative work is a continuous reflection of my life experience and introspective process, and as a result, it has transformed and evolved through the years. Making art has been an important part of my life and growth. Growing up as an only child, I spent a lot of time on my own. Starting with my parent's unfriendly divorce and the painful loss of my beloved stepfather, I went through a lot during my early years. Staying connected to my creativity + making art helped me stay afloat. As an adult, art has helped me calm my mind, deal with difficult emotions, heal heartbreak and reconnect to what is truly important for me.

In 2013, after struggling with anxiety, depression and as a result, my physical health, and intuitively feeling like Western Medicine was not addressing the root of my struggles, I dove into learning and experiencing the healing powers of food and plants. In 2015, I moved from NYC back home to Mexico City in the middle of what one could call an existential crisis. I was not clear on what I wanted to do, and how I wanted to do it, but I was clear on one thing: what I was doing was not fulfilling me and the way I was working was not aligned with my values anymore. 

In 2017, still in the midst of this difficult process, I moved to Oregon, guided to dive even deeper into my internal process, where I surrounded myself with powerful healers who have become my friends, teachers, guides and mentors. I started learning what it is to live a life more connected to Nature, and got certified in Energy Medicine. During this time, I discovered the power of stones + crystals and self-taught myself the sacred art of mala prayer bead-making. 

I am happy to say that I have healed so much at every level of my being. As I have walked my spiritual path in search of my own internal healing, my life, the way I see the world and the way I relate to the Earth have completely transformed. As a result, my work and the way I live my life have adapted to these internal changes. I have devoted myself to becoming a clearer channel for my creativity to come through and have increasingly become more connected to + mindful of caring for Mother Earth.
