o Description: This painting merges vibrant, translucent, and iridescent forms that contort and highlight a diaristic scrawl. A stream-of-consciousness process navigates memory, with an emotive range of color- depicting anthropomorphic alien vegetation, outstretched tentacles, jagged thorns, and porcupine quills suspended within an imagined realm. I find inspiration for these mesmerizing scenarios in the flora and fauna of tropical and coastal locales on the front lines of climate change- my father's homeland of Cuba, my mother's birthplace of New Orleans, and my native city of Miami.
