It was not created to be polished, but to be present. The exposed lines, open space, and visible traces of revision invited viewers into the middle of the process, reminding us that becoming is not linear and that progress holds its own kind of power. By giving process the same space as the final product, this piece challenged the pressure to have it all figured out-honoring the in-between, the searching, and the beauty of progress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655e8b582728f22311f32ffe/fee37890-02b3-4d21-a760-490d22ec7164/2473DF2A-0751-4FDB-8CF7-F97F94D1FA0B.jpg Portfolio - Of Earth, Of Color These sculptural shovels examine the weight we carry through land, labor, lineage, and legacy. A tool made to break ground, dig beneath the surface, and tend what grows, the shovel becomes a reflection of the exhibition’s central duality: we are shaped by the land, and we shape it in return. Layered portraits and pigment transform each shovel, while the bricks below evoke what is built from that labor—home, community, culture, and inheritance. Together, the materials speak to respect of generations of Black and Brown hands that have cultivated, constructed, tended, and transformed the places we know as home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655e8b582728f22311f32ffe/1ba22f40-9ca8-4a9d-a23f-60fd714c7ae0/Wild%252BGrowth%25252C%252BSouthside.png Portfolio - Of Earth, Of Color Wild Growth, Southside presents a figure seated low among tall grass and scattered wildflowers, their body turned inward as their gaze meets the viewer directly. Fully rendered areas transition into exposed outlines, while the surrounding nature grows with greater detail and intensity. This contrast allows the figure to feel both present and partially concealed within the landscape. The work holds vulnerability and stillness together, reflecting the quiet strength of existing within spaces that continue to grow around us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655e8b582728f22311f32ffe/33b68fdd-2cf6-4169-844b-29a8fddef6ec/Rooted%2BIn%2BHer%2BRest.png Portfolio - Of Earth, Of Color Rooted in Her Rest presents a figure lying within dense, overgrown grass, her body partially concealed while her steady gaze meets the viewer. Areas of careful rendering shift into exposed, sketched surfaces, creating a tension between visibility and becoming. Embedded within the landscape, the figure appears both sheltered and consumed by her surroundings. The work considers rest not as absence or retreat, but as a grounded state of presence, growth, and transformation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655e8b582728f22311f32ffe/bf5d7fe5-30d6-48e1-b322-dad56a5d9e69/IMG_2816.PNG Portfolio - Of Earth, Of Color Ferns & Fades begins with a familiar image, reimagined through the artist’s own memory and experience. The scene recalls time spent in Africa learning to cut hair, where a simple act of care opened space for stories, cultural exchange, and shared understanding. Within Of Earth, Of Color, the work considers how everyday rituals can hold deeper ties to one another. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655e8b582728f22311f32ffe/4f47d196-2c1c-4b72-98e5-c382ec218a8d/A903EB32-310C-4681-9D57-ADCAA13786B7.PNG Portfolio - Of Earth, Of Color Holy Ground, Heavy Stone No.1 Holy Ground, Heavy Stone considers the weight we inherit and the sacredness we create from it.

One sits forward, grounded and still, while the other leans in from behind, partially revealed. Their presence feels casual but intentional. Elements like the chainlink fence, clothing, and posture place the scene within a specific cultural context, pointing to Chicano identity and everyday life. The figures shift between fully rendered and flattened areas of color, keeping parts of the body obscured while emphasizing stance and attitude. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655e8b582728f22311f32ffe/a1bcb406-bc08-40e6-98df-252ed5758f4a/eZy+Watermark_03-02-2024_06-48-08-3900PM.JPG Portfolio - Google Girls’ Night captures the energy and intimacy of three women simply living in the moment. Through expressive color and movement, the work celebrates friendship, freedom, and the joy found in getting dressed, going out, and sharing the kind of ordinary nights that become lasting memories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655e8b582728f22311f32ffe/3fafe635-6cae-40b9-865e-df53dff14251/74C932AE-EF92-433B-A9FC-F9B024C42F6A.jpg Portfolio - Google Resilience explores the body as a site of strength, vulnerability, and persistence. The figure moves through sweeping layers of abstraction, appearing at once obscured and emerging, while the tension between stillness and movement reflects the ongoing act of enduring, adapting, and continuing forward. https://www.imagininkstudios.com/portfolio-1-1-1/project-one-f5w4d-z9nem-s3jda-eyssk-a6prr-nadr8 monthly 0.5 2026-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655e8b582728f22311f32ffe/d7bc78b9-eb12-49b3-8c42-e071fc9c7190/IMG_7984.JPG Portfolio - Outside Inside Don’t Freeze examines the tension between visibility, control, and survival through a layered combination of realism, graffiti, and text. The bold red “ICE” anchors the composition, while cold tonal shifts, fragmented surfaces, and graffiti create an environment shaped by pressure, surveillance, familiarity, and resistance. The work captures a suspended moment where stillness becomes a strategy rather than a passive state. Its title serves as both a warning and a call to remain aware, responsive, and present within systems that seek to restrict movement and identity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655e8b582728f22311f32ffe/c8797fcb-62b0-44ab-80bd-75eb18d6308c/Becoming.png Portfolio - Outside Inside Becoming is a mixed-media work combining photography and wheat-pasted paper, using the visual language of street advertising to explore identity and place. A fragmented figure emerges from a city landscape, with the lower body more defined while the upper form dissolves into the environment that shaped it. Torn edges, layered surfaces, and visible wear reflect the ways memory and experience accumulate and erode over time. Rather than presenting identity as fixed, the work considers becoming as an ongoing process shaped by where we come from and what we carry forward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655e8b582728f22311f32ffe/47032601-7557-4d1c-80b6-844ad301a60a/IMG_7991.png Portfolio - Outside Inside A quiet monument to uniform and identity, Ode to White T’s honors the everyday symbolism of the white T-shirt—a garment that has become both a form of memorial and anthem within culture. The piece reflects on how something so ordinary carries so much significance in memory, status, and story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655e8b582728f22311f32ffe/c28e3a2f-815e-483e-a600-6cc4c3f8312c/IMG_7990.png Portfolio - Outside Inside This piece asks "Who Got Next" to play, not only as a challenge, but as a call to continuity. The layered surfaces recall basketball courts, street corners, cul-de-sacs, and neighborhood voices, each competing and collaborating for the love of the game. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655e8b582728f22311f32ffe/3935d6ef-ede1-4874-ba90-80bce42c2d5d/IMG_6242.png Portfolio - Outside Inside Paleta captures a moment of ease and identity. The title meaning “popsicle” in Spanish, nods to the joys of being outside that carry comfort and cultural memory. Through bold colors and quiet confidence, the work celebrates visibility, youth, and the peace found in simple moments of belonging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655e8b582728f22311f32ffe/8c837ee2-7e00-4477-90f4-a79a5327ef10/IMG_8017.JPG Portfolio - Outside Inside This intimate work recalls a personal memory shared with the artist’s grandmother—where a simple cookie was offered in exchange for conversation. The tin container resting on a chair becomes a vessel for memory, family, and sitting with emotions. In revisiting that exchange, the piece transforms nostalgia into dialogue: Inner and outer expression, sweetness as language and storytelling as inheritance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655e8b582728f22311f32ffe/a8dfa1c8-336c-415c-a596-0ce81b3021cf/IMG_7978.JPG Portfolio - Outside Inside A contemporary still life, this piece juxtaposes the residue of creation with quiet domestic symbols. The orange peel, a remnant of nourishment, sits against a painter’s cloth—turning what’s disposable into a testament of labor and intimacy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/655e8b582728f22311f32ffe/8d7b6f64-90b9-4471-870c-658ba85f43d2/ProcessCloth_2.jpg Portfolio - Outside Inside These process cloths—once functional studio tools—are preserved as artifacts of labor, process and conception.
