   I am an interdisciplinary artist, who is a visible womyn of color, single Mother of Mestiza ethnicity: Apache, Mexica. I am Xicana and identify as an indigenous women. I am the loving daughter of a Korean War veteran and the loving sister of a Vietnam War veteran. In 2002, I set a precedence for Colorado University Boulder’s Art department when named a CU Boulder Art’s and Humanity’s Scholar. As a first generation college graduate and the first within my extended family to earn a Master’s degree I find it important to create pertinent films and compositions built upon the critical analysis of colonization. I draw upon intergenerational familial experiences of diaspora; the struggle to transcend racism, poverty, and oppression in the pursuit of self determination. I speak of this uprooted reality through my work and create vibrant and distinct images reflecting spiritual, political, psychological, and cultural understandings. My film URANIUM WOMYN 238 is traveling internationally, for more information or to schedule a screening in your area please contact me. There are digital stills from the films in my photo gallery.
