Her passion for art began at a young age, leading her to paint murals as a senior at Watsonville High. After graduation, she pursued art classes at Cabrillo College while working full-time to support herself and her family. Over the years, she has established herself as a professional artist, producing a recognized body of work in Watsonville.
She has created a vast amount of curated art for the community, including the official Watsonville Strawberry Festival Poster for seven consecutive years and numerous posters and murals for local merchants, service organizations, schools, and public agencies. In 2018, her design was selected for Monterey County’s first Official Government Flag.

She also created art for two utility boxes on Main Street in Watsonville. Her work, inspired by her culture, community, music, and the beauty of the Pajaro Valley, often uses bright, bold colors and illustrations in the style of Mexican traditions to create captivating pieces that tell a story.
