Land of Enchantment

An art migrates series with Luna and Luz

Born and raised in New Mexico, I carry its vast skies, resilient plants, quiet animals, and protective mountains within me wherever I go. Returning home—most recently for a residency in Albuquerque has been both a homecoming and a revelation, deepening my connection to the land that first shaped my imagination. Daily bike rides along the Rio Grande Bosque became a moving meditation through cottonwoods and shifting light, grounding and expanding me at once. The paintings, sculptures, and ceramics in this exhibition emerge from that rhythm and reverence, gestures of gratitude to a landscape that continues to inform my visual language. I am a New Mexican, always and forever, if you know, you know.
